Answer» Hi
I am running windows xp and while browing the Temproary folder C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Local Settings\Temp folder I found 3 screenshots. Does that mean I have a spyware and someone is spying on me or it is normal to have screenshot in Temp folder.
MY PC Config:
Windows XP Professional AVG antivirus (free) + Spyware Doctor (free).
What else do I need to do be sure that no one is spying on me.
Please advice.
ThanksWhat kind of screenshots are they? Screenshots of your computer? Speaking of screenshots...can you take a screenshot of the folder for US so we have a better idea of what you're talking about?Ah well I really deleted the files from the temp folder though it is a nice thought to have had a screenshot of it. The screeshots were of my Gmail account and my dekstop.
I am not quite sure if there is some spware lurking. If you want a hijackthis log then I would do that also.
Please advise. Arpit ........ Are you the only person using this machine ?
dl65 Well no i am not the only one using the machine but rest are laymen. I am posting my HJT log. I have AVG and Spyware Doctor but they do not detect anything serious other than tracking cookies.

Your HJT log looks perfectly clean.Agreed, it looks clean to me as well. Whatever those files were, I don't think they were a result of an infection. Just to be on the safe side, update your AVG and then download SUPERAntiSpyware and update that as well. Reboot into Safe MODE and scan with each program, one at a time.
Also...you're vulnerable without a firewall, so you should look into getting either ZoneAlarm, Kerio Personal Firewall, or Comodo. They're all good free firewalls. Just be sure you only have one installed at a time! Download the firewall of your choice, disconnect from the internet, disable Windows Firewall, and install your new firewall.
You should also go ahead and update your Java since Sun has just come out with a new update. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.
Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 to your desktop from here... http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=12798
- Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
- Go to Start > Control Panel double-click on Add/Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
- Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
- Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
- Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
- Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
- Then install the newest version by double-clicking the update file you just downloaded to your desktop.
(Courtesy of oddjob.)Another thing: QuoteAh well I really deleted the files from the temp folder If they were some nasties, they wouldn't be most likely so easy to remove.Thanks guys for your advice. I also think that there isn't any thing much in it however I did get a lot scared when I saw those screenshots in my temp folder fearing that some program is emailing those screenshots.
If you guys have any other suggestion then it welcome otherwise the topic deemed to be closed.
Thanks again.
ArpitJust keep an eye on that folder and make sure no more screenshots appear. If none, then you should be fine. I wouldn't worry too much about it.Due to lack of feedback, I am closing this topic. If you are the original poster and you would like this topic to be re-opened for any reason, PM me or another moderator and it can be arranged.
