Specific Notes [What's This?]
AVG is anti-virus software that uses the following technologies to detect computer viruses: Scanning - searching for character strings that are characteristic of a given virus; Heuristic analysis - dynamic emulation of the scanned object’s instructions in a virtual computer environment; and Generic detection - detection of instructions characteristic of the given virus/group of viruses. When AVG encounters a locked or corrupted file it must scan it copies this file to a temporary directory with this file extension. Normally, you would not see these files as they are deleted automatically but some program versions left them after a scheduled scan. This problem was supposed to be fixed in program versions released after March 2007. If you are still seeing the behavior of mysteriously appearing .T$M files in a temporary directory update your version of AVG. See the Forum thread for more details. A special thanks to user MarkA for doing the necessary research to pin this down. Recommended: Find T$M errors now.

General Info

• If the extension you are looking for is of the form .??_ the file is likely a compressed file and part of an install routine. When the install program runs it will expand the file and replace the underscore with the proper letter for the file type.
• If the file is sent as an audio file with any three-character extension it may be a dictation file where the extension is the dictator's initials; playable by BCB Voice Systems software (see ??? extension). The file could likewise be a dictation file in TrueSpeech format. Use Windows Sound Recorder and/or Media Player to play these back.
• If the extension you are looking for has a number at the end or is only a number and there were no results consider entering the same extension format using zero or one as some programs produce numbered split files but when the split can be extensive (e.g., .000-.999) only the first entry is in the database.
