Technical,
Which screen saver are you using (or is that unimportant?).
I just checked my _avast temp file but it's empty.
MY VRDB is set to only update when computer is idle if that makes a difference???

I don't use the screen saver thing. I set avast! to run twice a day, at specific hours.

I'll try to figure what type of archieve it is...

Is your avast screen saver module on or not?
I think the screen saver is irrelevant in the case.
I tested: empty the temp folder, do not run anything, wait the screen saver and after some time stop it... files are left behind  :(

I think there is nothing to do with VRDB...

I had a files about 540Mb, so I've looked at my archieves whitch was about that size, and I scaned them manualy (left mouse bouton in explorer, then select "scan...") and nothing appeared in the C:\Windows\Temp\_avast_ ! Maybe since I was logged on the temp folder is somewhere else... Maybe the problem occurs when nobody is logged on and the temp folder is C:\Windows\Temp...

When you're using an interactive scan the TEMP folder is somewhere like

C:\Documents And Settings\<your_name>\Local Settings\Temp

Note that the Local Settings folder has the hidden attribute so you won't see it in Explorer with its default settings...

Hum,
I've checked under C:\Documents and Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp\_avast4_ and I don't have anything... So if avast had uncompress files there, it deleted them to... (I scanned .iso, .zip and .rar)

Well that's how it should've been done. This is the normal state. :)

It would be quite interesting to find out exactly which archives contain the files you found in the Windows TEMP folder.

Right now I cleaned that folder... (C:\Windows\Temp)
If I can detect something, I'll let you know. Hope this help.  ::)
