hi. i have this "ZLT3.tmp" inside my windows>temp folder but i don't know what it is. I tried to delete this but it said "that it is being used.....".When i start up in safe mode the file is not in the windows>temp but when i start up in normal mode it emerges again. I also scan with NAV and nothing showed up. Does anybody know what this is (a trojan?) and how can i get rid of it....thank you and have a nice day

I'd run an online virus scan at either Panda or House Call to rule out a virus or verify you have one, post back after running the scan
Good luck

You must be using Zone Alarm - shut it down and then look in the temp directory, the file should be gone. I have the same file too, but the number (zlt3.tmp, zlt2.tmp, zlt16.tmp) changes whenever you boot your computer.

After I shut down Zome Alarm and looked again, the file was gone. Run Zone Alarm and look again, it's back in the temp directory.
