Hi all,

Well, I have a very weird file on each drive on my HDD, the file has NO extension, and has NO data, even with Hex editor program i found that it has NOTHING at all in it, the file name is also weird it is named _______ , yes 7 (_).

the wired that when I delete it, it come back again, I wonder what is that, it doesn't make any harm to my system, but it annoying me cz I don't use to have files that I don't know what is it.

I run on my system apache server (I used to have all the time and i didn't have that file before).

Well, i mean it is the same system with the same software but the intruder here is that pin in the a... file.

I don't have niethr viruses nor worms or any types of Trojans or backdoors on my system (I'm sure of that, while u can call me professional in detecting, tracing and removing these s---) but I felt totaly hopless in knowing what is going on there.

Can anyone help me telling what is that file is.. at least i want to know what is it.. even if i can not remove.. But i don't like to have such a visitor on my system and I don't know who is it.

thank u all,

Yiehya Zakaria
