Quick Virus Check Manually in Temp Folder

If you do not have any anti virus you can quickly check your temp folder if there are any unknown exe file that is present in that folder. Here, I used a free Search-Program called "Everything" to search on my C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\ for any unknown executable file.

Using a command "folder-name" then "\" then ".exe" it will match your query with the path and the file-type.




Gladly, the exe file came up in the result is familiar to me. You shouldn't have any exe file in your temp folder unknown to you unless you have run or download it. I am not an IT or computer engineer but this is the basic thing I always look at.
