I also found and deleted the scrap file, but when I found it I was brave and
opened it. It turned out to be an old sound file that was used on an old
website that I had visited a long time ago, no viruses, but I dumped it
anyway. However, I did not see the file extension for this particular file,
even when I opened the View in windows explorer and unchecked the Hide
Extensions for known file types. I wonder if this means it is an unknown
file type?
