Hello Anandtech community!

I'd appreciate some help figuring out a few things. I don't usually check my user folder but I found this:

iA6gyWzZLT6SX.jpg


Is this safe or normal? Why is it there? Is it okay to delete them and if so what will I lose, gain, benefit from doing so?

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary that I can recall. Below are my system specs if that helps:

Corsair 600T
Intel i7 3770K 4.4GHz 1.145 Vcore + .085 offset
ASUS P8Z77-V LE PLUS
Corsair AX1200
SanDisk 120GB SSD
HGST 4TB 7200rpm 64mb cache 6GB/s HDD
Toshiba 2TB 7200rpm 64mb cache 6GB/s HDD
16GB (Dual 8GB) Patriot Gamer G2 DDR3 1333Mhz 9-9-9-24
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 650ti 2GB
Windows 8 OEM 64bit

Any help is much appreciated! My computer is working fine but I'm always leery about anything that "just pops up".

Thanks,

Justin S.

Do you have a smart phone or tablet? That is where the Android software comes form. Not sure about the text file, but a double-click should answer your questions on that.

I have both a cell and tablet I but never connect them to my desktop. I double clicked the txt and it was empty. ???

I've deleted them and they've remained gone (shut down, restarted a few times etc.) but it makes me still wonder, how did they even get on there?

Have the phone or tablet been on your wireless network? If never directly connected, that's what I would guess.
