I just finished looking around in the Registry and I want to thank you for
taking away the aura of mystery and awe that has always been associated (by
me) with The Registry.
I did the F3 search until it said I had reached the end. I only found Open
Save MRU and in the right pane was ab in a little box with an e after it
and it said REG-SZ C\PC Remote Control.exe. It also noted my analysis
which I previously sent and it is in My Documents folder. Also noted
Default.rdp in My Documents.
I had not mentioned before that also in My Documents is an icon titled
Default.rdp. A right click and properties showed it was created Feb. 2008,
0 bytes,Type Remote Desktop Connection, attributes hidden. The icon is a
little dish with monitor slightly overlapping.
I do not recall how that icon got in My Documents but when I opened it, it
seems to be just that: an accessory to connect to a remote computer.
And I did run an AVG virus scan and AVG AntiSpyware scan over this little
icon and no threats found.

P.S. I know the above message is a bit convoluted but I hope it makes a
little sense.
