Urgent - CPU 100% caused by explorer trying to create tmp files.

[Sparki]

Ok explorer is using alot of cpu, i've run full AVG and Spybot S&D (and updates). The thing is clean.

However the 100% cpu still remains. i noticed the HD light was on continuously(very small light) so i ran filemon to see what was happening. it turns out that it is trying to create _ge***.tmp files in the C:\Documents and Settings\Sparki\Local Settings\Temp directory. Google's got nothing on this.


Anyone seen this before ??

PS its doing 4'685 every 2 seconds.

Extract from Filemon:

01:22:40 explorer.exe:2416 CREATE C:\DOCUME~1\Sparki\LOCALS~1\Temp\_ge67E.tmp NAME COLLISION Options: Create Access: All
01:22:40 explorer.exe:2416 CREATE C:\DOCUME~1\Sparki\LOCALS~1\Temp\_ge67F.tmp NAME COLLISION Options: Create Access: All
01:22:40 explorer.exe:2416 CREATE C:\DOCUME~1\Sparki\LOCALS~1\Temp\_ge680.tmp NAME COLLISION Options: Create Access: All
01:22:40 explorer.exe:2416 CREATE C:\DOCUME~1\Sparki\LOCALS~1\Temp\_ge681.tmp NAME COLLISION Options: Create Access: All
01:22:40 explorer.exe:2416 CREATE C:\DOCUME~1\Sparki\LOCALS~1\Temp\_ge682.tmp NAME COLLISION

Sounds bad.

Try to run a virus cleaner and delete all of the cache and history in internet explorer.
