I am seeing a bunch of WODxxx.tmp (xxx indicates different combinations of letters and numbers) files on our systems. They are located in C:Windows\Temp. I have googled them and I have yet to find anything on it. I was wondering if anyone has every seen these before? I go ahead and delete them and they just keep coming back. I have no idea what they or where they are coming from. All help is much appreciated.

How about listing some of the files full name. If they have consecutive file names then give us like 4 or 5.

first guess is that it's something MS Office does.

Run the Filemon utility on a PC for a day and see what does it.

Obviously the concern is that it's something virus/malware related. Viruses typically create random file names, though not typically all with the same first three letters (too easy to spot).
