I have had a file appear in the folder on the desktop that contains the
documents/contacts & favorites folders etc.

The file is call a .pf2 file with a name of WW06_P-STUDIO, does anybody know
what it is, were it came from, can it be deleted?

Regards

Ray

I Googled "WW06_P-STUDIO" and got nothing. I also got nothing by adding the
file extension to that name. I went to www.filext.com and there's nothing
listed for the .pf2 extension. Googling ".pf2" does bring up a few digital
camera links, but nothing conclusive. I didn't get anything that looked
useful (to me) by Googling P-STUDIO, either.

In conclusion - do you have a digital camera with related digital camera
software? If yes, then possibly the file belongs to it. I see no reason why
you can't delete it. You could put it in the Recycle Bin and leave it there
for a while to see if anything breaks.

If you don't have a digital camera, then my next step would be to do some
comprehensive scanning for malware.

I think the camera answers it.

Thanks
