Dave Marden <hello@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
The File sizes are mostly 4kb, but some are 8k, 12k, and 16k. I have
posted a sample which I opened in notepad in my 2nd posting. I do in
fact have visual studio installed, but I don't see any reason it would
have put this file all over in my pc. Most directories have this file.
This file doesn't have any extension and I have no idea on how I could
have possibly put this file on the pc myself especially recently as I
have not been even doing any programming with Visual Studio.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Dave Marden

Looks like a CLSID without the accolades. { }

No extension?

How big are they?

Can you open them with Notepad?

For some reason I have a file named AA88DD18-E0DE-4935-8969-E689E2B5EDED
that is showing up all over the place in my pc, but I scan it with
Computer Associates EZ Antivirus and it doesn't show up as containing
any virus's. I have scanned my entire hard drive and it finds no
virus's. I have searched for every instance of this file and I have
5756 instances of this file in total. I first noticed it right after
upgrading from Windows XP Home to Windows XP MCE. I have searched for
this file name in Google but it pull up nothing.

I felt that security would be a good place to start looking for the
answer
to this, if it would be better directed in another room please let me
know.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave Marden
