Hi,
I've read a previous forum here regarding the problem I'm now experiencing, and I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I've definately got the win.tmp.exe trojan, and it seems to give itself a different .dll name for each system it infects.
I've run hijackthis, and suspect my problem is in the WINBUH32.DLL, as I've not been able to find any info about this driver elsewhere.
It's really annoying and slowing down my system as well as filling my win/temp directory, so any advice will be greatly apprecitated.
Thanks.

try running virus scan and spyware scan in safe mode,
check start up files ~winME, check msconfig,
empty temp folder,
empty temporary internet files,
empty trash,manually move files to trash if needed,
post hjt log if problem continues,

Rats - the neither my virus scanner nor spybot recognizes this trojan! I'm still getting the win*.tmp and win*.tmp.exe files spawning in my win/temp directory.
Here's my hijackthis log:
