What is The Cleaner doing

[Pieter_Arntz]

This is a question I encountered on a Dutch computerforum.
Partly out of curiosity and partly to make sure.

When starting Windows 98 SE a file called TC$10001.exe is created in the Windows\Temp folder
Selecting Properties for this file learns that it is UPX executable packer made by http://upx.sf.net/

Trial and error method learned that this file is created by automatic startup for The Cleaner.

Does any of you know what it´s for?

For those of you that want to read the original thread (in Dutch): http://www.helpmij.nl/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76109

I would imagine that that's what The Cleaner is using for scanning for UPX ?

You're quite welcome.

Daniel's been very busy over there lately - and I believe it's starting to pay off for his users'. Pete
