Moderators Andavari Posted August 17, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 17, 2006 They're from your printer or scanner and will periodically get re-created. They're just temporary junk files and there's nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 .mtx is probably Adobe Atmosphere but could also be any of a number of other apps. See FILExt, a useful site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 i think it must be this Temporary File often used by a Browser or TWAIN Device. what is TWAIN Device? can Diskeeper 10 create those files? i'm just curious...

Glenn Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 what is TWAIN Device? TWAIN is a standard protocol for communication between imaging devices and software apps. You said you didn't have a scanner ... how about a digital camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2006 I read (on google!) that the MTX virus affects .DLLs in temp files. Do you have photoshop?

Moderators hazelnut Posted August 18, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2006 Okay. Did your computer come with any bundled software? ( the dregs now!) EDIT. Just found out that these are also installed by microsoft in operating systems for quite a while now under the banner of twain data source manager modules to allow devices to work. http://www.ilixis.com/developer/twain2.html Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
