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 ? Ed
i think u dun hav to worry bout it... i am sure u recently ran a windows update from ur computer rite?? and i also hav the same file as u got just the name is changed.. i think its the file where the updated files are kept alongwith installed dlls as i hav this file full of dlls alongwith download folder Ip folder etc... if i am wrong i want anyone to correct me
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. EdBB
