Anyone know anything about "@proud-geek[1].txt" ? It showed up on a new Vista box this morning and scrambled the system files up so bad that it has trashed the image on the drive.

Thanks in advance,
David.

Nope, never heard of it... besides a TEXT file should not have this impact on the OS, other than it not being a txt file at all, e.g. double suffixes like geek.txt.pif and the OS having the setting "Hide known extensions" checked...

Google turned up nothing of interest either... but I will keep looking...
