Hi,
I hope there is someone out there that can help with this query.
I have a server used for hosting a website.
The server operating system is Windows Server 2003.
The website uses IIS. The website is deveopled with Visual Studio 2005 (all aspx pages).
The problem I experienced was that the C: drive ran out of space.
After investigation I found that the directory C:\WINDOWS\Temp was full of dll files, each file is exactly 5KB in size. And there seems to be at least one file created every minute.
I checked the server at 2pm today.
- there were 1,193 files create for today so far.
- for example: 5 files were created at 2pm.
The name of the files are like: fka-m_83.dll, xlvdkvck.dll, aov2azax.dll.
- They always seem to have a name with 8 characters: 12345678.dll.
I ran a batch file to delete all of these files.
This worked & cleared up over 2GB of space.
Any idea how this happens.
It does not appear to be a virus. I ran a virus scan with the latest updates.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I opened one of the dll files in notepad.
Among the text, there were some english words, these are:
"This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
v2.0.50727
<Module> JScript 0 Script1347 System.Xml.Xsl.CompiledQuery
Microsoft.JScript mscorlib GlobalScope CompilerGlobalScopeAttribute"
Thanks,
Bren2
