    Can I delete these tmp. files? And could it potentially be a malware?


    These .tmp files are in my D drive, and they take up a lot of my storage. I'm not sure whether I should delete them since they are protected. The two files are named DUMP1c13.tmp and DUMP16a4.tmp. Also, just to be clear, these are not some sort of malware right? Since I did get caught up with a virus.

    :)

    Hi Richard,

    Is it only one file? Where does it reside? tmp files get created when you’re working on other ones, but this is entirely possible.

    Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, & Anti-Malware Software - download the free home version (make sure you opt out of the free trial of their active anti virus while setting up)

    AdwCleaner 2023 - Free Adware Cleaner & Removal Tool | Malwarebytes

    Download and install Malwarebytes, and see if it can find and delete the malware. Let me know!
