Unremovable item in TEMP file (JSF)

[Joseph Ferraro]

Does anyone know what the file "Iadhide5.dll" is?

It is in my Windows Temp file and in addition to being a hidden file, it
also appears that it cannot be deleted.

Is this a required item and if not, how can I delete it?

Thank you in advance, and I appreciate your help I in the matter

Nothing is required in the temp folder. Reboot the machine
in Safe Mode (press F8 during the early boot phase), then
delete the file. It's probably spyware.

You have malware on your computer. Go through these removal steps
systematically, making sure to do all preparatory work:

Nothing is required in the temp folder.

Including the latest WGA file that's put there that cannot be deleted?

Windows uses the temp folder to store files which are needed for the current
session. As these files are being used, they cannot be deleted. However,
during shutdown, Windows is supposed to delete all such files.

What you can do is try to delete all files, but Windows will not allow
deletion of files which are in use.

Normally, that's true and you can delete it in Safe Mode or after a
reboot. When you reboot, the WGA file is there again. It cannot be
removed. If you want this wonderful experience for yourself, download
the misnamed critical update called Windows Genuine Advantage (part
three) from Windows Update and then take a look in your Windows/Temp folder.

Yes, all files in temp/tmp can be deleted.

Google( Iadhide5.dll ) suggests this is part of BackWeb, which is a
legitimate part of some software, but can be acquired as a rogue
variant ITW (i.e. may be malware).

As Malke would suggest, do as good a malware scan as you can (best is
to do this formally, via Bart CDR boot) as there may be a lot more
stuff running around that you can't see.
