Mystery File

[EdBB]

Good day:

I found a mysterious folder on my C drive today. It is named e461501210837d39f20438efb4 and contains a folder named "download". In turn, this folder contains a file named dao360.dll._p .
I scanned it with Wormguard that called it "suspicious" because of the double extension. I scanned it with TDS-3 with no reaction. I scanned it with Panda AV ( completely updated) and no viruses found. Pest Patrol found nothing wrong with it.

Is it possible that this is some debris left over from a recent Microsoft Explorer update?

Should I send it in anyway ?

Hi EdBB
Of course you can send it in submit@diamondcs.com.au just to be extra sure, better safe then sorry.
I find various dao360* files in program files\common files\microsoft shared\dao and in microsoft office\
so it might have to do with such an update?

Almost certain this is a genuine windows update file. If your AV / AT do not alert on it I am sure you are safe :)

Pilli/Jooske/Subratam:

Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear that it's just MS Update leftovers. :)

I shall ignore it.
