Off topic: spider.sav - where does it come from थ्रेड पोस्टर: Carla Trapani

Yesterday I found in one of my folders \"Documents\" a file named \"spider.sav\", which I had never seen before. Since I\'m dead scared of viruses, of course I have not opened it and I\'ve \"trashed\" it immediately without even checking for the kind of extension it may have had.
Through a quick search on the Internet I\'ve found that it may be a trojan-containing file.

को स्मृतिमा | It's a saved Spider Solitaire game | Feb 24, 2003 |
Assuming that you play Spider Solitaire on your computer (as I do) - it\'s a saved game of Spider Solitaire which Windows saves by default in the My Documents folder. I\'ve had some of those \"spider.sav\" in my My Documents folder, sometimes intentionally (i.e. I did want to save the game), but generally not.

I do not play Spider Solitaire, but my brother does, and he\'s been at home for the weekend. Then I checked it personally and when I saved the game I got exactLy the same file I had found.
Thank you all guys... PROZ.COM FOREVER )

Someone has been playing solitaire on your machine - spider.sav is the name for a saved game of Spider Solitaire (quite addictive, may I add). Nothing to fear.
