There is a file called _detmp.2 in my Windows folder, it feels suspicious.
Just now while doing routine system maintnance, I noticed a file called _detmp.2 in my Windows folder. I don't believe that this is a legit file, the info under "Date Modified" lists the file as having been modified on 7/8/2002. I didn't even have this computer back in 2002, this is a new PC that was purchase last October. I ran Adaware while typing out this post and it spotted nothing but tracking cookies. Adaware is upto date, I ran it's updater yesterday. I also ran Spybot and it found nothing at all. Like Adaware, I ran Spybot's updater only yesterday. I ran Hijack This and will post it's log in the HJT forums in a little while. At first glance there is an item in the HJT log that looks suspicious, but I don't know for sure.
Anyone know what this _detmp.2 file is?

detmp.2 file could be a temp resource file for a progam installed on your pc.
If the modified date was 2002, then it is probably a legit file. Virus and spyware tend to modify files the date the infection occoured (which in most cases, the modification of the file would be recent)
If your still concerned, you cn rt click the file-> Properties-> and get some more info on it.
Are you experiencing any problems with the pc?

I checked the file's properties yesterday just after submitting my initial post. I am now beginning to believe that it just may be a legit file afterall. The "company" info in the properties dialog box lists "Broadjump" as the company name. Broadjump is the supplier of my ISP's software.I was probably over reacting abit. I haven't been experiancing any problems or odd behavior at all. The only reason why I was worried is because a google search under the file name turned up numerous reports at various websites giving the impression that it is some type of spyware or virus.I ran Norton Antivirus yesterday and had it do a complete system scan. The scan found no infections at all.Message Edited by Customizer on 04-24-200604:41 PM

sounds like you have some downloader trojans.
Have you tried a free HouseCall scan?
