Kaspersky Free AV Temp Files Leakage Issue?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have noticed a bug with the free Kaspersky Free AV package in that I am seeing it create a new folder with a GUID-like pattern in my system's TEMP folder approximately once every hour, all containing the same four identical files (amounting to just under 3MB in each folder and the DLLs inside them have AO Kaspersky Lab digital signatures on them):

  • binaries.hsh
  • msi_common.dll
  • msi_misc.dll
  • product_info.dll

I don't mind what the software does so long as it self-cleans up after itself, but is there any way to prevent these duplicate files from being continuously and needlessly generated? This drive is a 4GB RAM disk on my home server and I already found it completely jammed to 100% usage capacity twice with these folders (which interferes with my web server software's logging) unless I sign in to clear them manually.
