    Hi all,

    I do believe that some part of NOD32 produces a "copy file" of websites or "temp files" of information you have downloaded.... am I correct?

    As I said in my first ever post, I have joined a Distributed Crawling Project to help build a Search Engine and have managed to crawl up to 1,800,000 URL's in 24hours.

    Question is I've had a memory failure warning twice and a virtual shut down of my PC on 2 occasions and I'm not sure why I have 2GB of RAM and bucket loads of hardrive space.

    Using CCLeaner after a session's I removed 986MB & 700MB? of temp files. Has this hugh amount come from NOD32 I wonder?

    Can I switch this temp file thing off?

    Any ideas
    Cheers Webby

    Hi Webby,
    do you remember what were the names of the files in the temp folder?

    Hi Marcos,

    Errr! no there was nothing to actually say it came from *** program. I have disabled NOD32 from any the scanning when I run this Distributed Crawling Project so I don't see the amount of files I used to.

    I'm going to activate the scanning again and see what files are produced... this may take a hour or to so let's see what comes up.... May not be NOD32 at all, I don't no.

    Back later
    Cheers Webby

    This issue has been posted several times already. There was never a definitive answer the first time....the thread just died.

    I too have several NOD temp files that are in Windows:\temp

    I have just learned to go in there and delete them once per month. And yes, it's NOD doing it. I can remove NOD and they stop producing.......reinstall NOD and they start appearing again. They are not aborted scans, etc....whatever was brought up in the first thread.

    These temp files should be created only when NOD32 is scanning an archive, but should be deleted after the scan has completed. Please try to investigate when the problem occurs. Are you using MS Exchange by chance?

    Nope, not using exchange. Win XP and Outlook. Do a search here, you'll find the old thread. Nothing unusual about the other folks either.....just tons of NOD temp files being left....no answer ever given.

    Hi all,

    Sorry that took so long.... I am now the owner of a new router :D

    Ok below is the log from Crap Cleaner and as you can see the files are not named after a program which makes me wonder where they come from. I had IMON switched off while I did the Distributed Crawling of some 800,000 urls. Now I know AMON is still scanning and this makes wonder is the files have now come from NOD32? AS you can see 673MB o_O

    If you see further down again all the files look very simular.

    Cheers Webby

    Temporary files that come from NOD32 commence with "NOD".

    Hi all,

    Please check this post and come back again: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=158289

    After so long with MJ-12 excluded from the IMON scan I fired it up once again.

    Within an hour I had 140MB Temp files and PF Usage in the Task Manager rising by 1MB per second.

    MJ-12 is on my D Drive only and the temp files are showing up on C/ as in the other posts I made above.

    The files are only created when NOD32 has access to MJ-12

    That software must create a lot of activity as AMON will be checking every opening and closing file, hence the creation of temps files.

    Cheers :D

    Ok, thanks for that Blackspear.

    Looks like my virus hunting is out as I still have to exclude the MJ-12 from the IMON scan. Its only then that the temp files are not made and PF Usage is normal o_O

    Cheers Webby
