Going thru my Event Viewer (Administrative Tools, Win XP Pro), I find

there many warning massages due probably to my Norton AV scanning,

saying such as:"Could not scan 3 files inside C:\Documents and

Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\CC295.tmp due to extraction errors

encountered by the Decomposer Engines." Other masseges are the same

using similar names of tmp files such as CC296.tmp, CCB07.tmp, etc.

Source - Symantec AntiVirus

This is going on for a long time, and many masseges every day.

I tried hard but can't find these files manually, neither in a system

search.

Do you have any idea? what is the effect of these files and how do i

find and get rid of them?

Many thanks

If they were temp files they should have been removed / deleted when the

program that created them closed or you re booted your PC. And if not when

you ran Disk Cleanup

Don't worry about them

Try this:

- Click Start / Run

- Type the three letters cmd and press Enter.

- Type this command and press Enter:

del /s /aRHS "%temp%\*.tmp"

If this does not work, repeat the process in Safe Mode.
 
Ok, tnx, i'll try that!!!
