I have one file in my windows temp folder that is 1 gig in size named $RFQ.AVG which is from my avg antivirus program. Just wondering if I can delete this and why in the world would this program create a file that big?

I also have 4 files all a perfect gig a piece in another temp folder. NVE13A.tmp, NVE13B.tmp, NVE138.tmp and NVE139.tmp. I Do not have space for these kind of files lying and just want to make sure they are not important. I was going to rename them to something and then makesure things run fine but want to verify here that they are not crytical

Yes, delete them. There is no legitimate program that produces temp files that large. BTW, I'm running AVG also, but I do not have a file named $RFQ.avg. I would delete these files and try to get my system cleaned up.

I would boot into safe mode to delete them.
