I've just ran a scan with superantispyware so to see if it found anything that adaware missed . It found something called UNPS.exe in my temp folder & marked it as a trojan . Found a couple of links on Google but don't seem to lead anywhere . Should I remove it ?

If you are unsure, rename it to something like UNPS.exe.sav and see if everything behaves on your PC for a week or so. If everything seems ok, delete it.

Looking at Google, it appears to be spyware or malware though.
there shouldn't be anything running from the temp folder ...

online installs run from there .... but that's all

be careful though .. sasw it a known suspect scanner

I'd agree with both above, if your not sure rename the file and see if it causes problems, if not delete, but as AC says, anything running from the TEMP directory rings alarm bells straight away.

Superantispyware has been proven to be a false scanner though so I wouldn't use that, The 3 anti spyware scanners I use are

Adaware
Malwarebytes
Spybot search and destroy

Ideallly all scans with all of them should be run in safe mode, and between the 3 of them I haven't found anything that they won't clear.
