Recently I have noticed that a large temp file shows up on my system and I don't think it is something that needs to be here.
The file is in Windows Temp: WFV3C.tmp size 46,960 KB
It was not always showing up when I would clean up my system by deleting temp files, it just showed up around the first of the year.
I cannot delete it and it reappears every time I turn my computer on each day in a somewhat different form, but always large size.
I have several questions about this file.
1 - what is this file for and what program, if any, is using it?
2 - is the shear size of this file slowing down the operation of my system?
3 - is this a malacious file and if so, how can I remove it permanently so it doesn't come back every day?
Any answers and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I can't find any useful information on WFV3C or WFV3C.tmp, so the best thing to do would be to post in our malware forum and have one of the experts there check over your system to make sure there is no malware.
Go to the HijackThis™ Logs and Infections Removal forum, read the info there and follow the posted directions. Once you receive a clean bill of health, come back here if you have any additional questions or concerns or it turns out not to be a malware problem.
I removed the HJT log and added it as an attachment. You can copy and paste it into a post in the malware forum, but not here please.
