Odd file on Hard Disk

Hi all,

This may not be of much importance, but this file NERB0ED2C3B.exe showed up on my HDD (root of a partition) and I have no idea what it might be. The only thing I can think of that might be even remotely related is Nero 6 (6.0.0.11), but since I don't know what it is I don't want to simpy delete it and screw up my system.

Any ideas? All help greatly appreciated.

NPP

you could always rename it (change the extension to ex_ for example) and see if anything breaks.

When in doubt, rename it. If system runs ok for a few days, zap it.

Many thanks guys, got it renamed to NERB0ED2C3B.old. I am now going to restart the system and see what happens. I don't normally shut down (17 days now), but this qualifies.

Thanks again. Will keep you posted.

Well, back after reboot and nothing hurts. This file is taking the Trash Can ride to nowhere.

Thanks again,

NPP
