Yestersday I went to 2 different students houses for various reasons, and both if them had the same thing on thier desktop. Both students run Win XP.
It is an unidentified icon, with a tilde (~) as the name with no file extension. I opened one in wordpad and it was unreadable.
When I saw it on the second machine I ran SpBot Search and Destroy. While it did remove some spyware, the icon remained. Virus definitions are up to date.
I am hoping someone has seen this and might know what it is. I suspect some type of spyware, but not having seen this before, I can not be sure.
Any Ideas?
