Hi, so since a few days some weird folders that start with tw and end with .tmp keep appearing in the C:/Windows/Temp folder. They seem to appear at random times and they contain no files in them. I already did a full virus scan with ESET and ESET SysRescue which both had 0 threats found, I tried checking with Microsoft's SysInternals Process Monitor but somehow the folders don't appear when that's open, I checked if maybe there are background processes I don't recognize open in the background and I repeated everything I usually do in a normal day with no success.
You can see in the screenshots the folders, what programs and services I run at startup and which ones are open at the moment
