   WEIRD text file that you don't know?
  One of my friends had this weird text file with the name being something like _gear.info.wo.txt or something like that on their desktop.  He said it from seeing that file, his computer performance was significantly hindered.  I'm thinking it's spyware/malware of some kind but I've never seen anything like that and the contents inside were a little unnerving with just weird stuff: recording input output figures and various numbers in grids, etc.  anyone know what this is?   
  Unless he has installed any programs to his desktop, or saved anything there, then  there is unlikely for there to be any good reason for it to be there. Delete it and run a spyware sweep.Dave   ;  i'm afraid with him, installing software could be a high possibiltiy.  the only problem is, he doesn't really keep track of such things.   ;  Post the contents so we can all revel in the weirdness!   ;  bah.. it's deleted
