Anyone have any idea what this is?

Found a file called "zlojawja.sys" sitting in my root directory with hidden and system attrib setb. About 2 months ago found a similar file called "zlojaezn.sys". I opened the file and this is what it contained.

I've searched all virus libraries i can think of, searched the internet and can't find ANY reference to zlojawja.sys or zlojaezn. So WTF is this?

Bizzare, I couldn't find anything either. I would delete it! If an app needs it, then it will complain. You will then know where it came from.

Are you using antivirus software? Are you using a firewall (just in case it's part of a trojan)?

Have you joined Team AnandTech? 🙂

Here, too

However, I still don't see any meaning behind it.
