Hi. I've been noticing lately that a weird file named "popcinfot" keeps appearing in my desktop. I tried deleting the file but it appears after i start or restart the laptop. Could it be a virus or something else? Please help. Thanks.

I will leave you to the resident Bobbye on this other than one question out of curiosity, do you have any 'popcap' games on your machine?

 

[abe10tiger]

yes

yup. I have a pocap game in the laptop. Plants Vs. Zombies.

 

[red1776]

if memory serves (maybe Bobbye can confirm this) i think its a safeguard built into their trial games so its not used beyond the '30 trial' for instance. kind of an anti cheat deal.

Trial game?

But the plants vs. zombies i have is the full version.
