How do you remove the virus psw.banker.6.bc?

I had this virus in my computer, I have tried several antiviruses and anti Adware programs, they found iehndl.dll and they was able to delete it. BUT after a while, this dll was at the same place C:\Windows. I have mentioned that there are big number of tmp files in c:\Windows and when I was deleting these files, one of them was locked. So, i booted to the SAFE MODE with MSDOS (I have got MSWin XPPro) and manually deleted all tmp files by: cd \windows dir *.tmp (only for checking num of files) del *.tmp dir *.tmp(only for checking num of files) Of course, I did a lot of cleaning by antiviruses and I manually deleted a lot of objects, but only after deleting this tmp files this virus stopped bothering me ( because antivirus software showed a window to ask me what to do with dll every time I was typing anything). So, good luck, because after two days it was there again, but after deleting tmp it was ok (for a while :-).


How do you open .tmp video files?

To open .tmp video files, you can first try renaming the file extension to a more common video format, such as .mp4 or .avi, and then attempt to play it with a media player like VLC or Windows Media Player. If that doesn't work, you can use a file recovery tool or video repair software, as .tmp files are often temporary files created by video editing software. Additionally, check if the original program that created the .tmp file can recover or convert it into a usable format.

What is the point of .tmp files?

Typical applications use tmp files as temporary storage while they make changes to the original file. It is hard to generalise as to what they are but if the application is working properly and the save operation completes successfully then they are normally automatically deleted. If the save operation fails they may offer the chance of recovery of unsaved changes.

These two directories are used for different purposes. The /tmp file system is for creating/using temporary files and directories and may be cleaned as a result of a reboot. Scratch files created by utilities and compilers are placed here, and the directory is readable and writable by anyone. The /etc directory is only writeable by an administrator, and contains most of the system configuration file information in multiple directories and files.
