Unknown file (BBAHDDFN)

Several times I have found this file in my C:/Windows folder --Bbahddfn--
It's a large file 450KB +
as I recall. I don't know what it is and it doesn't seem to be a file of any
value. I have deleted it once before but it
showed up again. Can you tell what it is and it's purpose? Thank you

It is not a standard file and looks like a random named virus or
parasite. If it returns after a restart, then try disabling it.

Check in Msconfig for any oddities.
(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.

You might also go to Cnet's Download.com Locate a copy of Spybot
Search and Destroy. It's a good utility for ferreting out spyware and
removing them. It also locates some trojans that Norton or McAfee miss.
