Re: strange file HBEPGUID.TXT
search the registry also for "HBEP" since this file is apparently storing a process-identifying GUID value together with the MAC of your network card. It quite well may be something innocent. However I would expect a search of the registry for just the GUID portion of the current file's content to have at least one hit, probably in the HKLM hive...

| I searched for HBEP and any of the set of numbers found nothing. I would think nothing of this file but what scares me is the folder I found it in. I run HijackThis all the time. I don't see anything new in there. getting to the point I am thinking about just reinstalling the os. sad part is the system runs fine. no strange error messages. no weired log files or anything showing up on my firewall logs. I nuked the IE internet folder and all the cookies. |

| I don't think you need to go to the extent of reloading OS. Maybe try something like file monitor with filtering to find out what is happening. I don't have this program so I don't know how to set it up. In any event, I would be curious as to what was happening before I reloaded new OS.
