anoth interetesting file question

[Guest]

Hi:

I have aonother interesting file pop up on my history viewer, it is the
following;

ms-its:C:\WINNT\help\els.chm::/event_overview.htm,

The earlier one was linked to a spy program, either a adware or a spy
scanning program.

Any help with this will be appreciated

What exactly is "interesting" to you about this file? It looks like the help
file (HTML compiled) for the event viewer program. It would appear that it
was accessed by someone (or something?) on your computer wanting a general
overview of the program's operation. There are scores of files of type chm
and hlp in that particular directory and I've not heard of any attacks that
use help files as a vector although it certainly might be possible given the
severe problems with IE.
