Anyone enconter this file before?
I searched the web and got no hits.
I think it might be a virus and don't want to erase it, but it appeared today.

are you sure you spelled it right?

double check. You can always rename it. then if it is required by some program, you just name it back and reboot.........

Trojans sometimes create nonsense-named files like that. Put it in the recycle bin, but don't empty it -- see if anything doesn't work anymore. Open up your task manager and look at your running processess -- often a trojan will make up a new nonsense file to replace the one you removed. If they keep popping up, you've got to track down the source...
