This has nothing to do with Avast but I can’t find any answers on the web. Hopefully with the many knowledgeable people here someone can help.

Over the last 6 weeks or so when I click on my (c) drive I’ve noticed a lot of FAP???tmp. files are there. They never used to be there before, all the files are 0 bytes. Does anyone know what program puts them there?

well they are all 0kb so you can delete
if you find one that is not 0kb upload it to www.virustotal.com when done scroll down to the bottom and click “additional info” maybe you find some file info there that will tell you where it came from ?

I found some hints that these files are somehow related to (old…?) versions of FF in conjunction with Flash Player.

Well it is not related to Flash, but a fx/Seamonkey issue. So if you update the problem should subside. Inside txt is “test”, you could clean them out using Click&Clean,

Thanks guys, I don’t use Seamonkey so it’s not that causing the problem.
