Default Can't delete kqbmsupb.dat from my temp directory

I have a file named "kqbmsupb.dat" in my temp directory that I am unable to
delete. It doesn't appear to be locked by any program but I keep getting an
Access Denied error. When I open the properties on the file there is no
Security tab. I am an admin on the machine which is running Windows XP SP3
and is part of a domain.

Here are some of the things I tried to delete the file and they all failed.

1) Signed in as Administrator
2) Tried Safe Mode
3) Used Unlocker
4) Used recovery console
5) Used Sysinternals Process Explorer but file does not show up
6) Used Sysinternals Handle but file does not show up
7) Tried to quarentine it with my AV software
8) Tried to delete it with Anti-malware software

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Dave

Use Process Explorer to find what process is keeping that file handle held open.

Sorry...

Have you tried "find" (find handle or DLL) from the pulldown menu ?

Yes sir! That is what leads to state that there is no lock on the file. It
appears to simply be a permission issue but I can't find a way to change the
permissions.

Have you tried taking ownership of the file? If Home version, you need
Safe Mode to do so. Then you should be able to control it.
You didn't mention TaskManager or msconfig?

Hmmm...

Could be a RootKit.

Did you search the Registry for; kqbmsupb.dat ?

Go to Device Manager.
Go to View -- show hidden devices.

Look for anything called TDSSxxx and/or loading a file such as TDSsxxx.sys

When you get a chance, download Gmer.

Close all applications and as many ruuning programs as possible and run a full scan as
well as download and execute Catchme.

The anti-malware software did identify it as a rootkit and claimed it needed
a reboot to remove it but the file is still there after rebooting.

It is the Pro version. Nothing out of the ordinary appears in either task
manager or msconfig. There is no security tab in properties to change the
permissions. Is there another way to take ownership?

Bingo !

It is still there because it is protected.

What anti malware software declared this and what was it identified as ?

Software was Malwarebytes and it was identified as "kqbmsupb.dat
(Rootkit.Agent)"
