    XP SP3, AntiVir v9, SSP .128

    I was cleaning up my D: slave/backup HD, and discovered a large 124mb unknown file?- zia02040 (no extension- see attachments (I created the .zip file))?

    I have no idea what it is (not excel), and when I tried to open it in sbie it said it was not a valid Win32 application.

    To big to email to AntiVir (forced scan was clean), and submit to Virus Total.

    Anybody have any idea where it came from, and is it safe to delete/or...?

    Worked good, with a few burps...!

    Thank you for the .bat solution!

    I did have some problems though?-

    As soon as I ran it, my system became SUPER SLOW to respond! :eek:
    I had to wait & click several times/wait more to do a restart.../Welcome icon...

    Weird Fix!?- I went to UltimateDefrag 2008, and did an Analyze on ALL HD's.
    As soon as I did this- My computer was fast and normal again! :D

    Hmmm?- Not the first time I've had this problem, and always ended up doing an Acronis restore? HMMM? o_O

    Tnx

    Scott
