Hello,

I running windows xp and from a malware research perspective is it possible to recover tmp files used by malware (or any application) that are used during installation? I know that files can be recovered through the recycle bin through forensic means and various tools, so I would assume the same would be true for the aforementioned tmp files.

Thanks for your help in adance.

Mark

Given the malware nature, you also might want to post this at castlecops dot org.

Thanks. That was actually my next move depending on what answers I got from this forum. If I can pull the tmp files out I am not sure if they would actually do any good. The files will be removed by the time any anti-malware scanning took place, and not sure if real time protection would detect them.

Thanks,

mark
