uninstall_cds.exe?

[virkelie]

I just noticed this file uninstall_cds.exe, there alone, in my C:\Program Files folder.

Anyone have any idea what this is?

Absolutely nothing on google.

Scanned file with McAfee AntiVirus, ewido anti-trojan - negative!

OK I figured it out.

I emailed the file to myself, which I then downloaded to another computer - using it as a "guinea pig".

I tried to execute the file on my micron P-166 by double clicking on it - nothing happened.

To open the file, I changed the extension from .exe to .txt - and voila - I was able to open it in Notepad.

It contained a lot of gibberish, but within the text file, references to uninstalling Cyberlink's Power2Go program.

And in fact - the creation date and time for this uninstall_cds.exe file, and the Cyberlink Power2Go program - are the same.

So the file is legit.

Surprised google turns up nothing on this file.
