Yeah, WTF is up with that ebooks thing?

alrighty, they said it is not theirs, so I'll post it. It is called AnandTech Moderators_files And has 2 javascript files and one .txt file. I detected no viri on a scan, and do not show anything in my logs. which is wierd.

I guess someone was just messing with me.

yes, acrobat reader creates that folder for you to store the thousands of ebooks you buy

_files is the suffix IE puts on a folder that contains the images and other files it grabs when you save a web page to your hard disk, and My Documents is likely the default location.

You accidentally saved a webpage of the title "AnandTech Moderators".


Goofus. :p

Really Killbat? Wow. I want to know where this came from then. I don't suppose that IE would code a location into the files would it?
