Nod tmp files

Hi,
Sorry if this has been dealt with before but I couldn't find anything in a forum search. Is it safe to delete the nodxxxx.tmp files which I found in the windows\temp dir? I found nearly 9000 of them! I've also got a lot of httxxxx.tmp files, could they also come from nod32? I am using the default settings for my 3.0.657.0 installation.
Thanks in anticipation and regards,
Dave

 

You can delete everything in your temp folder.

 

Hi Capp,
Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought but with Windows it's good to get a second opinion
It would be helpful if nod could clean up these files automatically.

The temp files are deleted after they have been extracted from an archive and scanned. Could you please observe under what circumstances the files are created but not deleted?

 

Hi Marcos,
I'll try to keep a record. So far I have noticed that this occurs during (most) scans this year. I have always had the latest nod32 english versions installed.
Perhaps another program is preventing deletion? Does nod32 also produce the httxxx.files?
Thanks and regards,
Dave

 

I'm not aware of that. ESS/EAV should only create nod*.tmp files.

 

Hi Marcos,
Ok thanks for that.

You could always run a utility like Filemon to see what is causing disk IO and where and then track down exactly what process is doing this and under what conditions from there.

 

That's an idea. Thanks for you suggestion.
