I have never installed the sqlite database, do not know how it got

"sqlite_gibberish" with no extension, as well as files of the form
"ver1a.tmp, ver1b.tmp, ver2a.tmp", etc. Plus my virus update notifier is
getting very active, telling me every couple of minutes that my software has
been updated.
When this first started last week, I decided to reformat the disk and
reinstall the O/S, especially since it just came back from a repair shop.
But it started again, and so there must be something I am using to invoke
this, probably from the web. I am running Win XP SP2, have AOL and AOL
Security Center with McAfee
Can anyone give me any clue on how this started and how to make it stop?
Thanks!

Bill,
This has been discussed here before. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general/17429
and this ticket
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=1698
If you can't find out what program is creating the files by using
ProcessExplorer or FileMon from SysInternals (both good programs that
are easy to install and simple to use), could you try zipping up one of
those sqlite_gibberish files and attaching it to ticket #1698 (use the
link above and then click on "Attach" near the upper right corner of the
page).
Please let us know what you find.
