Try booting into Safe Mode to see if you can delete the file. IF not, boot
off a boot disk, then delete the file from a command prompt

Tom - this file is almost certainly malware of some description. - with a
..TMP extension!!
There has been a rash of these things over the past week or so - we have yet
