I have 104 temp files in the :windows.c.temp file.  Everytime I try to delete them, it says "another PERSON or program is using that program".

I've shut down everything that I know of.

The file is always either CS66C or C566C.  I can't tell if it is an S or a 5.  My guess is S.  The ending is different on all of them.  One of them is CS66C1B.tmp

Does anyone know what program creates those files?

System:  Win XP Pro. Current versions of all the following: AdAwareSE, Spybot 1.4, Systemworks 2005, Spy Sweeper, ZoneAlarm (free).  I use IE 6 and Firefox.

I am on dial up.

Any help is appreciated.YBC......  reboot into safe mode and then try deleting the files .

dl65  If you still have trouble Google for KillBox.exe  Dude, I almost have the same problem.  Okay, I'm at my sis school, and i was being stupid and took something out of the recycle bin.   But now when I try to delete it, it just says it can't delete the first file of the folder!!

And I tried deleting the other stuff too, but they say the same thing as the first one!!   Dude, what the heck do I do to delete this thing!! I have a similar problem also.  Windows XP, C:\winnt\temp folder has a temporary file I cannot delete.  It is associated with a Trojan Downloader/Wintools.  I try to delete it and I get "Access Denied."  I tried Killbox as well as some other SOFTWARE, nothing works.  Even tried a HEX editor to CHANGE it, no luck there either.  I can rename it and was able to move it to a folder that is not in the path, but really need to delete it.  Any ideas?Did you set killbox to delete it on reboot?Guess you can't delete it.... sooo i guess just leave it alone. or change it into a hidden folder by opening up the properties thingy.Check the date, this could be a CH record.
