unknown file shows in root of "C"?

WinXp, Home, SP2.

name of file: YServer.txt
Contents of file:
43c c88 WinMain
43c c88 lpCmdLine: '/UNREGSERVER'
43c c88 Run
43c c88 lpCmdLine: '/UNREGSERVER'

Any ideas about what it is or where it came from?

Are you using Yahoo Instant Messenger? I think there was a problem with version 7.2 that placed this file on your drive. Some people have stated that they found their IP address plus the IP of anyone they transferred a file to using Yahoo within this text file. It shouldn't hurt to delete it. I would keep an eye on what it contains. I don't trust using IM programs such as YIM, AIM or even Windows Instant Messenger. Too many security risks involved.

 

savagcl--Whiskeyman's explanation is the simplest. Otherwise there are several other sources--mainly having to do with website construction
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2004-31,GGLD:en&q=YServer.txt
which could be supported by the reference to WinMain

You can always put the file into Recycle Bin (but do not delete) and see if the performance of the PC or any program is affected. If not, after a week or two, then delete.

 

Yes, i did have yahoo mess installed for a brief time, to test a web cam.
Promptly decided i didnt like it and deep-sixed it.

I'll put it in the dumpster for a couple days and watch it.

Thanks guys,
