I remember seeing a forum thread somewhere asking the same thing. It started recently. After surfing the web, and I close IE 6.0 I see a new file on my desktop which simply says: ~

I did a virus check on it: clean. Did full virus checks with f-prot from pure DOS and f-secure in windows both fully updated. I get a clean computer. Anyone know what's up?

    It's a bug caused by Outlook Express. Nothing to worry about.
