    Are these files Malware?


    I woud like to know how to delete 2 files in my temp files folder and if they are dangerous. The first one is DBUtil_2_3.sys. It only shows up sometimes. The secone is CR_0EDE.tmp. They don't automa tically delete when I check all the files in the temp folder indicating I want to delete them. So, I need to know what they are for and is it ok to delete them. I have regularly cleaned my temp, %temp%, and prefetch folders clean on the advise of a MS technical support technician, and in doing so in the past, I could easily recognize files I could not delete even with administrator ability like ones associated with the Click to Run Service. These files are new to me and have recenlty been showing up when I clean these 3 file folders through windows explorer. Therefore I wonder if they could be a virus or malware or if they are legitimate windows/microsoft files.

    :)

    sourceforge bundles malware

    From the main Filezilla Sourceforge page you can also browse the files, this is usually used for downloading older versions but you can download the latest version as well through there. At the top right of the file list is an option to switch to "Direct Download Link" to On. So anything you download from the file list will be the actual file, not the malware filled Sourceforge installer.

    Did our Epson printer get hacked?

    Another question, is this on a home network or a work network? The steps @eidairaman1 listed are always a good first step. If this is on a work network you manage, I'd be much more concerned than the home one. It is possible someone is screwing with you, but malware could also be the culprit.
