These are generic file and likely from chrome.exe. try deleting rhat specific tmp folder and have the process monitor to track its creation to reveal the binary creating it. Likewise you can even send those files to virustotal since they are supposed to be harmless and not malicious exe to virustotal online for check. The user does have valid concern in this case and also good to track the creation and modify time for those files on frequency of changes..need to ascertain if really due to FP software or others.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a client who is extremely concerned about security on her machine. She has found a folder in her temp folder that has three files in it: <br />
crl-set<br />
manifest.fingerprint<br />
manifest.json<br />
<br />
I suggested that these files are just temp files generated by the fingerprint reader of the laptop but she insists they just started appearing. She does not use the fingerprint reader nor has she ever. <br />
<br />
She wants an explanation. She suspects that someone is trying to access her computer remotely without her knowledge. <br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
