Although I am continuing to research the source of the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\_nnnnnn_.tmp.dll" files that were detected, it appears that the files were generated over a period of time and only were detected after the 2009-06-17 updates. Therefore, I suspect that these detections may be false positives.

I am sending an email to detections@spybot.info containing:
  1. A reference to this thread.
  2. With attachments:
    • Of my Checks.090617-1150.txt file.
    • A zipped folder (named "2009-06-17 detections.zip") containing the 35 files "C:\WINDOWS\system32\_nnnnnn_.tmp.dll" files identified in the Checks.090617-1150.txt file as "Problems".
 
I believe you are right - I also had this problem after today's update. I have sent them for determination of whether they are false positive, too.
 
Thank you for reporting this issue.

I analyzed your files and they appear to be temporary files installed by the Service Pack 2 and maybe other Windows updates.

So it should not cause any problems if the files get deleted, however we will treat this as a false positive and adjust our detection rules accordingly with the next update scheduled for 2009-06-24.

I had 199 virtumonde.sdn the 23 june 2009. All cleaned and deleted, however my PC functions OK. I had one start problem, repeat start solved that.
 
Removing these files will not compromise the computer since they are temporary copies of Windows update files only. In most cases Windows does not leave these files on the hard disk.
