dutch_in_seattle Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 When I run CCleaner 2.30.1130, it seems to choke on the file C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\mnc16.tmp. Nothing happens (no timeouts or anything), but the completion percentage just stops moving. Judging by the file name, it's some kind of temporary file and my guess is it's open, which prevents CCleaner from removing it. The thing is that I haven't been able to identify which application on my system uses that file (despite extensive system monitoring and Googling). Has anyone seen similar behavior or has any ideas what that file is for? Could it be associated with a virus or some other piece of malware? Thanks!

Aethec Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Reboot, then try again (if it's still there). Piriform French translator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted April 24, 2010 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2010 Have you tried running ccleaner in safe mode, or are you wanting to find out what it is first? What happens when you try to delete it manually? Do you use AutoCAD or My Notes Center?

Alan_B Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Some Portable Apps. create that sort of file when launching their business. It should get removed when the App. is closed, but may be left upon a crash. Some non-portable things create that sort of file as part of a "complete on reboot" action, and possible assume that after a reboot it will cause no trouble, and may even deem it the user's responsibility to empty his temp folders everything designed for DO3 3.** worked that way ! !

Jamin4u Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Welcome to the forum Ron. You could try TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer. Be sure all users save any unsaved work before running. Let the program finish then reboot. If you think your computer's infected, you could visit the Spyware Hell section of the forum. Please read and do as much as you can in the pinned "Before you post". Online Documentation...CCleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
