Re: File on desktop called "~"

["http-equiv () excite com" <1 () malware com>]

<!-- I have this file too, located in the root of drive C.-->

I take it "C" is just "C:\" on all systems? No fancy username 
hurdles?  Where does the address book ordinarily reside? In 
some "secure" location non-guessable?

It would seem to be a quite a juicey catch, if one could retrieve the 
address book from unsuspecting "web surfers" regardless of their 
operating systems.

C:\~

Perhaps an exploit to do just that will speed up the manufacturer of 
this "product"'s repair of this most peculiar oddity. "Just delete 
it" doesn't cut it. There will be many many people out there who 
simply don't even know it's there. But we do.
