This is for a computer at work( not my computer) details were provided about the virus problem on symantec endpoint protection :

Scan type: Auto-Protect Scan
Event: Risk Found!
Security risk detected: Trojan.Dropper
File: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\DWHD8A5.tmp
Location: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
Computer: servicetag
User: SYSTEM
Action taken: Pending Side Effects Analysis : Access denied
Date found: Monday, 23 January 2012 10:55:34 AM

This problem is recurring. Im wondering if this is a real virus or just a suspicious file. The user is not an administrator and has no administrator privledges, she said that she could not delete the file because she did not have the permission.

Perhaps temp files used by certain programs are being recognised as trojan droppers? im not sure.

We cannot help with malware issues on the Windows forums. You must post on the malware forum, regardless of your Windows version. Post here: Virus/Trojan/Spyware Help - Tech Support Forum

Please read the sticky post entitled "New Instructions" at top of that forum page.

More then likely this is a real virus. As Pip said we cannot assist in virus removal here, click on the link in the quote or in my signature. Do as many of those steps as you can and skip those you can't. And post in that forum for more help.
Your System Admin at work should be able to do this for you.
