What is c:\~?
This file, which has just appeared today, is 173KB in size.
It seems, after various scans (Avast4.5, AVG7free, Ad-awareSE and Spybot SD), to be benign. What is it? TIA Rolu |

Thanks Steven.
PS I do like your Index.dat Suite. Had trouble with the installation as Mscomctl.ocx? was reported to be in use by another application. Solved by installing in safe mode. Thanks for a nice piece of software.
