.T$M File Extension

t$m File Extension

The t$m file extension is mainly related to AVG antivirus and internet security programs.

The t$m file is a temporary file generated during a security scan performed with AVG antivirus software. It is created when the program scan detects a locked or corrupted file and saves a copy of it in the \Windows\Temp\ directory.

The .t$m files should be deleted automatically by AVG software. However, some versions of the Internet Security program do not delete the files, which is why they show up on the hard disk.

If .t$m files do not contain any important data, they can be manually deleted to free up disk space.

How to Open

This file type is not meant to be opened directly. There is no specific software available to open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of internal data files, caches, temporary files, etc.

Can It Be Converted?

As far as we know, this .t$m file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is typically the case for system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also, some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types to protect the intellectual property of the developer, such as DRM-protected multimedia files.
