Is this a trojan

[NOKNOT]

I hope someone can help. I have this file in my temp folder that I cannot delete. It says "clclean.0001.dir.000". I have booted in safe mode, deleted it and whenever I reboot it is comes back. I have searched it on the internet and they say it is a Trojan. I ran Eset Nod 32 and SuperSpyware but neither one has detected it. Thanks.

Post a HijackThis log please...the fact that the file comes back it's not a good thing.

[NOKNOT]

Thanks for the quick reply. I will have to research how to do this then post it. Thanks again.

[INDRANIL]

Ya post your HijackThis log here as Alboguy said. You can download it from here.

[safeguy]

Download Unlocker or LockHunter and try to use it to delete the file...

If that doesn't work...check if there's any particular entry in startup (msconfig) that shows entry to such a file...

If you really think it's an infection, download Malwarebytes AntiMalware and do a scan...remove any infections found.

And if that too doesn't work, post the HJT log as requested by others here.

I have one file named clclean.0001 which will not open and one folder named clclean.0001.dir.0001. When I open the folder I have these files:

ApiExShell.dll
| ActivationGui.dll
| Ky5s96SF.csa
| PfdRun.pfd
| ~de1785.tmp
| ~df394b.tmp
| ~efe2.tmp
After searching I found they have something to do with Creative Technoloy Ltd. Im not sure if it has something to do with Sound Blaster Audigy or not. Not even sure I should try to delete them, I am just going by what I have read on the internet. Should I still post hijackthis or do you think this is nothing to worry about. Thanks.

See if you can make a hijackthis post as suggested. If nothing else, locate the file and run it through virustotal.com

Thanks acr, here is log.

Hi NOKNOT

This C:\DOCUME~1\George\LOCALS~1\Temp\clclean.0001 sounds suspicious
