Hello, I recently downloaded WinPatrol, and it works great. I have noticed that lately it has been finding a Hidden File called etilqs_XXXXXXXXXX, the XXXXXXXXXX being a mixup of random letters.

I was wondering what this was, and if one of you thinks it's bad, what should I do to remove it?


I looked it up and I found a similar topic on a different forum: http://www.wildersse...ad.php?t=215287

I also tried having WinPatrol remove it, and that works, it doesnt show up anymore for a bit, but then WinPatrol finds another one a short while later.

It seems that it shows up every time my wireless internet connection goes out.

These files are created by versions of Firefox 3.01 or newer upon launch. These newer versions of Firefox use SQLite to create temporary session files that store information about passwords, phishing sites, certificates, and other browser related issues.

Just leave it alone. Don't fix when it aint broken
