What is JETFEE5.tmp?

[pccode]

I recently performed a full disk scan with NOD32 and it alerted me that it couldn't scan JETFEE5.tmp because it was locked. It's located in the windows/temp folder and lists a file size of 0kb. I tried to open it in notepad, but it said it couldn't be opened since it was in use by another process. I can't delete it, rename it, or move it because it's in use. What is this file? I did a search for the filename on a couple of different search engines and they returned 0 results. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Temporary files usually have random names so it's hard to determine what program it belongs to. I'd start Windows in safe mode and delete it.

Hi PC

As mentioned in other threads there is a program called Unlocker which may help you, you can download it free from here

I installed Unlocker (great tool, thanks for the tip!!) and it showed that the tmp file was in use by outpost.exe. The strange thing is that I have looked in the windows/temp folder numerous times before while using the Outpost firewall and no files appeared in the folder. Can anyone else who is running Outpost firewall confirm whether a file named JETFxx5.tmp appears in their windows/temp folder? (the x's represent a wildcard character, the filename changes from time to time)

I will confirm it for you. The jetxxx.tmp files are part of the jet database engine mechanics. When you view the logs for instance I think these are the "reports" for various filters.

Thanks for your help. It's good to know that the file is supposed to be there. :)
