Hello duncanalias,

That's a AppData\Local temp file, no problem. :)

Thank u for your response.

So i guess that a temp file never can be a rootkit? or malware, or virus, or....
Harmless always?

Temp files can be infected, do you clean out your Internet temp files? :)

Yes, like once a month.

After the rootkit scan i started to have some errors and warnings in the firefox console that dit pop up. (after cleaning temp files)

No problems on sites do... everything seems to work fine.

i saved the errors and warnings in case you want to know.

Sounds good.

I take it your version of Spybot is without the AV so just one AV is installed as it should be. :)
