    I'm not sure so I started this thread before I delete them completely. Anyone else agree or no?

    By searching for the files on the Internet - This is what I came up with:
    dnary.mdb

    descript.ion

    I have descript.ion on my pc in c:\program files\winrar\
    also dnary.mdb is in c:\windows\system32\ias\

    Are these where Drwebb found the files ?

    I run my virus software quite often and they were never picked up as virus.

    So I guess I would say they are not viruses.

    Yea I run malwarebytes and norton and theyve never singled these files out either. But the Drwebb did say they were virus/ suspicious. With that i'm just gonna restore them back to my system. I researched them online at www.fileinfo.com and it says they are microsoft related files. I hate when these type of malware detectors detect regular files as malware cause most people just delete and go. Thanks I will just "move" suspicious files until further verification :)

    Hey I recognized/remembered the path for the dnary file and I placed it back, thx. As for the Decript.ion file it was "never a virus item...I just happened to notice it residing in the "quarantine" folder. It's probably created as needed So I'll put it back in there.
