I have a file named ^.~ in the root of my C: drive. opened in notepad I find at the bottom of all the garbled code the words: PECRYPT32 version 1.02 ú coding project by random & killa
I have found out the PECRYPT32 is some sort of packer/unpacker.
can anyone tell me what this file is and does and is it some sort of virus or something else i should be worried about? just seems like a strange filename and extension.
