It may well be something malware can take advantage of (a lot of things
in Windows fall under that heading), but a file by that name, dated
4/23/99, is a legitimate component of Windows 98 SE. Furthermore, it can
cause problems if one has a real-mode keyboard driver loaded; see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214408/en-us; it also seems to be
involved in USB connections. I would not be too quick to get rid of it;
my AV (Trend Micro PCCillin) finds nothing amiss with the version on my
system. Nor did SpyBot search & destroy. Festina lente.
