POS. TMP files, red X on C: Drive, laggy HELP

Expand Post »
Okay so 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":

It could cause unpredictable or erratic behavior, freezes and crashes.
Fixing these errors can increase your computers's performance and prevent data your personal data loss.
Would you like to open System Troubleshooting center to fix the problem? (Recommended)

I had this problem yesterday morning. I googled the problem, and ran Vundofix which seemed to have fixed the problem yesterday morning. This computer was working all fine until about an hour ago, it came back. I ran Vundofix again and it's not fixing the damn thing now. How do I fix this? THANKS IN ADVANCE

okay if you have HijackThis then do a system scan and post the logfile here if you do not have it download it from filehippo.com and download CCleaner and Spybot S&D if you dont already have them.

I have exactly the same problem !
its terrible, these .tmp files take almost a GB
Another problem i have are lots and lots of (mostly IE )pop-ups
, even when not using any browser.
I've tried everything and some seem to work but they just keep coming back !
is there any way to fix this without such a hijackthing ?

Re: POS. TMP files, red X on C: Drive, laggy HELP

I have the same problem. Thousands of pos*.tmp files on c:\ and My Documents and they can't be deleted. I'm also getting desktop pop-ups (when not surfing) and error messages.

A potential problem has been detected and Windows has been shutdown
buggy application to prevent damage to your computer.
****WXYZ.SYS - Address F73120AE base at C00000, DateStamp 36b072A3
Kernel Debugger Using: COM2 (Port 0x28f, Baud rate 192000).

Scanned with S&D, Spyware Doctor, Ad-Aware, Trojan Remover, CCleaner and found few trojans, but removing them didn't help.

Anyone got a fix? thx
