Re: GDIPFONTCACHEV1

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Just as a test case, I renamed the 2 files on my system to a
non-functional extension .org. They are not part of the WFP
(Windows File Protection) as no immediate replacements
were applied. I rebooted and only the .Dat in:
C:\Docs & Settings\'MyProfileName'\Local Settings\Application
Data
was recreated. The other .dat retained it's .Org extension.
Apparently, Windows itself recreates the single .Dat and the
others may not be required/needed by the system.

Questioner,

Well, I have 9 copies of it on my PC, and nothing seems amiss right now.
Also, I got no warnings from Windows Defender, Spybot Search and Destroy,
Pest Patrol, and Ad-Aware when I ran all these today after reading about
this file.

So....I'm not going to get too scared.....YET!! :>

So is it bad or not? Is it adware or should I just leave it? (things are
complicated when parasites use legit names!)
