Mouser's Zone / Files created in Application Data and System32 directories
« on: August 01, 2008, 08:34 AM »
I've been running two programs (FARR and ProcessTamer) and I've noticed that each has created a file in the WINDOWS\System32 directory:
DonationCoder_findrunrobot_InstallInfo.dat
DonationCoder_processtamer_InstallInfo.dat
They look harmless and are duplicates of files created in the Application Data\DonationCoder\Keys directory in my Documents and Settings directory.
My question: what are these files and why are they written to the System32 directory?
Thanks,
Shawn
