arcsetup.exe and arcldr.exe

Comment:
In you've installed, or tried to install, SP4 to your Win2k platform, you will find some "left over" (?) files in your C:\ root folder:
arcsetup.exe -- 160kb arcldr.exe -- 147kb
Anyone have an idea what these are and, more importantly, can I delete them? I -did- rename them, just to see if any application reported an error .. but nothing has happened in nearly 6 months.

It's not part of Windows, hackers are using your machine for a game server. I think. I'm still getting to the bottom of it, but you can check out the link below (or google arcsetup.exe for yourself).

ARC stands for Airlines Reporting Corporation. Free flights?
