IMON > phBAAAAAA?

After a fresh install I was about to configure IMON when I saw this weird phBAAA thing.
I've never noticed it before since my compability list are usually full of different apps.

Anyways, anyone know what it is? Goggle didn't come up with much.

 

Hmm.. Must be some rare stuff eh? (70+ views, no reply)

 

All I can tell ya is that I have it too.

 

Hmm .. Must be legit then. It's just the weird name phBAAA that spooked me a bit

 

Well it would have spooked me too if I didn`t already see that you had it.

 

Brian N,

Nothing to do with your thread, but is there any reason why you have 'NOD32 update' set as 'Higher compatibility'? have you had issues with 'Higher efficiency'?

Thanks
Tom

 

Nope that's just my standard settings, because I read the help file and it was marked as 'Higher compatibility' - I have had some problems with websites, so I figured I might as well set the update to the most compatible mode.
I have tried higher efficiency with no problems, but you knever know.. I like getting updates flawless

 

The only notable mention of phBAAAAAA I've been able to come up with was amongst a page of garbage. Upon closer inspection it turns out that this page is in fact a compiled script built in the language REBOL, althought it seems to be a more LINUX flavoured language, it may still be related to your issue.

Definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REBOL
REBOL, the Relative Expression Based Object Language (pronounced ['rebl]), is labeled an 'internet messaging language' by its makers. It is an interpreted computer programming language that contains support for many internet services, making it fairly easy to write internet applications such as electronic mail agents or web applications.

 

Does phBAAAAAA show up anywhere on your hard drive?

 

Hmm. I found it while doing a search, but can't seem to find it anywhere myself though.
Also it seems to be an internet shortcut to a gif file on my own pc. Very strange..

 

Ok then, I just deleted them. Everything seems to work just fine.
Very stange, hope it won't come back and bite me in the butt for some reason

 

Do a dir /ah to show hidden files from the Command Prompt. By the way, is "Skrivebord" Danish for "Desktop"?

Whoops, too late... you already deleted it. It could be that the phbaaaaaa.exe file was associated with some program that you had running on the Desktop. In other words, it was a temporary file that got cleaned up, but the .gif file that came with it was not cleaned up.

 

Yes it is.
dir /ah = file not found
