Comment:
I've been getting A LOT of pos.tmp etc. files in my C: Drive and My Docs. I also have a Red X for the icon of my C Drive. I also have these "system messages":

I originally had this problem a few days ago, and i have searched around previous to this posting....most suggestions that I came across were to run Vundofix and that would fix the problem....well I downloaded and ran Vundofix AND AVG anti-virus which seemed to have fixed the problem. But the problem returned. I ran Vundofix again and it's not fixing the damn thing now. How do I fix this? i'm becoming extremely frustrated! Thanks in advance.
Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click "yes".
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click "ok".

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as cjrl15 and have follwed the actions in Response 3. The log file is below.
Problems I have is that Vundounfix.exe said it was unable to delete c:\WINDOWS\systems32\gebbaaw.dll but it does seem to have gone. When I boot up I get an error message "error loading windows C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctgoakjd.dll not found". Also whilst running Vundofix the red X by the C drive icon disappeard but once vundo fix closed itself after reboot the red X is back. My docs and my C drive are still full of pos***.tmp files.
