A moment ago I went to add an entry to the hosts file an discovered yet another hosts file as well named "hosts.idx". A quick Search reveal two other files with the IDX extension called:
hosts.idx
datebase.idx
filecache.idx
these three file have dates of: 5-29-09 - 6-03-09 - 6-04-09.
their size ranges from 125kb to over 6000kb an opening them reveals a Code un-known to me.
A google showed that another person has also found the very same files on their computer recently,,
Is it possible that someone here at the forum can tell me what in heck are these files ? I've never seen them before.
the only information I found on this was located at:
»
filext.com/file-extension/IDX None of the programs listed at that site are installed on this computer.
Comments welcomed and appreciated...........NOTE: Will trash the System very soon unless I can find some answers/reason for these files.........the files are growing.
Oh...have scanned the computer very well with several programs an not infects are shown.
Thank you guys.
oh there is a person at Wilders complaining of the same issue but no replies.
