Disk Util shows "decrptedFile.dmg" and below Flash Player - Is this a virus?

While doing some routine maintenance with Disk Utility I see a disk image showing but it is hidden. I have nothing connected by usb except an external HD which is listed separately.
I am worried about this because it shows up as a disk image but I cannot see it.
The string is:
/ROB'S /private/var/folders/00/28smjdm92zs__qh85x2sc2gc0000gp/T/decryptedFile.dmg
I used REVEALER to make the files visible
I find a lot of files in there but I have no flash drive connected.
Is this some kind of hidden virus?
Should I remove these files?

OK. Got it.
Thanks for the help and the quick reply!
I booted up from an external HD and checked later and it was gone.
I wouldn't delete it without being sure of what I was doing.
I very much appreciate the information and help!
THANKS!

I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

HDD is a Toshiba 1TB, partitioned into two 500GB partitions.

Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

Disk Utility shows Disk1, not mounted, and no further information???

Disk Utility shows my correct disk partitions in the top section (my hard disk with two partitions and my superdrive). In the lower section, however, there is a "disk1" which shows no information. Under that is another "disk1" which shows only 'Not mounted' for 'Mount Point:' and '0 Bytes' for 'Capacity'. All other lines only show dashes.
I looked at my /Volumes folder in Terminal. It shows four entries:
x MPBWinXP - which is my boot camp partition
x MacBook Pro HD - which is my OS X partition
x MacBackups-1 - which is an external drive on my network (for my Time Machine backups)
x administrator's Public Folder - hunh?
So, this "disk1" in my Disk Utility must represent one of the last two, I'm thinking. And, I'm thinking the last one isn't supposed to be there - or is it there because I shared it at some point, maybe?
Any thoughts on this and what I might do to get rid of the "disk1" from my Disk Utility display?

I never received a reply to this, so I'm marking it as 'answered' just to close it out.

'Disk Utility' showing 2 HDs...?

When I click on Disk Utility it shows 2 Hard Drive icons; one saying Macintosh HD, the other 111.8 GB ST9120821A...also they have different text descriptions at the bottom of the Disk Utility window....?
Should both of these items be listed ?

Hi Robert,
Steve is basically correct. The upper icon represents the entire disk and the lower, indented icon is the "volume". So Macintosh HD is your "volume".
Note that 149.1 GB LaCie GroupSA is a "hard disk drive" and there are 2 volumes on this disk because it is "partitioned".
Normally when running "Verify" or "Repair Disk" or "Repair Permissions" you would want to choose the volume.
Refer to what Disk Utility tells you before you choose, "Select a disk, volume or image."
Images like "zlock.dmg appear below the divider:
Hope this helps.

Disk utility showing recover partition but not main partition

I have a Macbook Pro A1278 that has been dropped. I pulled the hard drive and ran seatools on it to verify it has no physical defects. The disk utility shows the recovery partition but not the main partition. It infrequently will boot to the users partition. I usually get the flashing folder with a question mark in it. What is the next step to try to backup the data on the drive and reinstall OS X.

It would be really helpful if you would answer the question as I asked it

Did you do this from the Recovery mode (either Recovery mode, internet or local)
Yes or No

Disk Utility hangs during DMG file creation

I use disk utility to create DMG files from folders (with the corresponding command from the File -> New menu). Every now and then (and quite often, really), Disk Utility will not complete this process, but instead hang forever. It seems that something in the kernel gets stuck, because the machine can get increasingly unresponsive after the hang has started (for instance, I wanted to look in the system log right now, but running less on /var/log/system.log would create long hangs on the whole UI). The only way out is a reboot.
The machine is otherwise very stable.
(Ah, and Time Machine started at the same time now, and doesn't seem to be able to run - maybe disk utility and time machine are creating some deadlock situation?)
Anyone who has seen similar behaviour?

I haven't had this issue this since upgrading to Snow Leopard, so I assume it has been fixed.

Trying to install 10.9 yields "damaged HD message," but disk utility shows everything is fine.

Running mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13'' with OSX 10.7.5.
So, like many who have tried to install the new update, mine says it cannot be installed due to a damaged Macintosh HD. Attempting to fix it through the Disk Utility available during the install allows me to Verify Disk. I get an error that it needs to be repaired, but the repair option is greyed out. Booting it into Recovery and using Disk Utility again shows a damaged disk, but this time I can repair it. It repairs and everything reads as fine; even verifying the disk again shows that the system is fine. This is where it gets screwy.
Upon reboot, the Mavericks install wizard once more gives me the damaged HD message. It once more shows a damaged disk through the Maverick's screen Disk Utility. Booting it into recovery shows the damage again, is fixable again. Rinse, repeat.
Booting into Safe Mode and running Disk Utility shows an undamaged Mac HD. It also allows me to access everything as normal (which is how I am on here now), albeit much more slowly. Additionally, my Boot Camp partition works just fine.
I wouldn't mind abandoning the install, but the Mavericks install will not allow me to boot into my Mac HD because of some error. I also cannot avoid restarting into the Mavericks install wizard unless using Safe Mode. I attempted to delete the downloaded Mavericks "application" in the launch pad, but this does not affect my normal boot, and it appears again the next time I boot into Safe Mode.
I don't know what's wrong with this, but I don't thing it's a hardware issue, because this only affects Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how to either 1) install Mavericks, or 2) banish this **** from whence it came so I can have my computer back? I've been trying to fix this for at least 9 hours, I'm starting to feel rather infuriated.
The only option that I can think of at this point is to reformat and do a clean install of 10.9. Alternatively, maybe just keep 10.9 off my system because it seems to be a POS.

Disk Utility BUG SOLVED @@ COME AND READ @@.

On some of the older imac and mac books some of your may have problems using the restore tab in disk utility.
You are unable to drag the disk to the last slot.
I figured it out today.You don't have to install any third party software or use any terminal thingy.
Ok
So you launch disk utility and go to restore tab and you drag your dmg file or whatever on the first slot and you can't drag anything into the second one.I want you to drag it from the left hand side, On your desktop for example your usb thumbdrive is call MAC1 but dragging it from desktop to disk utility will not work.I want you to find MAC1 or whatever you use on disk utility on the left and drag it into the box.This will work.You can go on can try restore now@@@@.
If they say error 16 or something i want to you to unmount anything you have mounted and try restore again.it should work now.
If it doesn't work i can't help you
But anyway this works best with usb.So have fun

There is no bug. The instructions specifically say to drag the disk from the list to the left!

Disk Utility Shows Incorrect Free Space

I've had this problem for a while now, and I've been unable to figure out why. I can't even remember when it started, but it has become quite a nuisance.
The Finder window shows that I have 302GB of harddrive space remaining, out of 500GB. The Activity Monitor and Disk Utility show I have 240GB space remaining, and my System Profiler shows I have 239GB remaining. I just deleted a bunch of old TV shows off of iTunes (about 40GB worth) to open up some space, but only the Finder changed (up to 302GB from 260GB) but the Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, and System Profiler haven't changed.
Now, I'll assume the Finder is showing the correct amount of space, but I'm wondering why the other utilites are showing the incorrent amount of space. I have a feeling maybe something was screwed up when I created a 50GB Windows 7 partition through Boot Camp a couple months ago.
I've attempted to Repair Disk through the Disk Utility and it says everything looks fine. Any solutions to this minor inconvenience? Or at least an answer as to why this is happening?

The available disk space reported in finder is totally wrong.
Even if it accounts for the local snapshots. In my macbook air it shows 120 Available in finder which is just 1GB less than my SSD capacity.

Live verification in Disk Utility show incomplete result.

Starting wth Mavericks, when I do live verification of boot drive in Disk Utility, the result shown in Disk utility is not complete and show tht drive is OK in green as it has been in the past.
The verification run without any error, but stop mid wy, not showing that drive is OK. I have to repeat the verification many times before the result that drive is OK show up. I hve filed bug with Aaple, and it is still with me.
Any friend here have experience this problem? When we can expect to have a fix?

I can't help.
I can confirm the same problem on my system, as reported in the similar thread I've started.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

Disk Utility Shows "Owners Enabled: No" Even When it *Is* Enabled

I have an external AoE (Coraid) disk array that I have mounted to an XServe machine using OS X 10.6.8 Server. I was having frustrating problems with file ownerships going away, until I figured out that it was due to ownership being disabled on this drive, which is the default for external drives.
So, I used Finder | Get Info and unchecked the "Ignore ownership on this volume" checkbox. That seems to have fixed the problem, and ownership is now preserved on this volume. I checked with diskutil as well, as it also confirms that ownership is enabled.
However, even after rebooting the machine, Disk Utility (the GUI) still says, "Owners Enabled: No" for this volume. Absolutely nothing I can think to do will make Disk Utilty stop claiming that ownership is not enabled. I even used diskutil to disable and then re-enable ownership. Everything *seems* to be working, but this is still a concern. Is it a bug in Disk Utility?
The volume's filesystem, btw, is Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).

Well, the volinfo.database is fine. You might check the system.log and the asl.log for any entries about diskarbitrationd but I have a feeling you won't find anything. You could double post over in the Server forum or over at MacOSXHints- has a bunch of server admins who visit there frequently.
