this link mentions BDE as a possible source for the file. BDE can be from Borland or from adware/spyware.....probably spyware
here are three links:
http://www.webservertalk.com/archive...-6-284791.html
and:
http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/BDE.html
and in case it is Kaaza related:

hope someone with some experience with this file also answers this thread soon but this will get you started.
the BDE, as I remember, is installed with Kaaza.

There are 2 different BDE's. The spyware is Brilliant Digital Entertainment. The other one is Borland Database Engine and is totally legit, and pdoxusrs.net is the latter. All this means is that you installed something that uses the Borland Database Engine. WordPerfect Office is probably the best known one of these.
