www.antivirus.com

**Manowar** · 02-06-2004, 11:35 AM

it could be a virus creating the file, but its very hard to say for sure by the creation of a file

run msconfig and check there's nothing in the "Startup" tab that is running from a strange location, or has a strange name. That information will let you see what is being run on your computer automatically.

a check with an updated antivirus and some spyware tools would probably help.

What is this ~ file?
The file appearing on your desktop with the filename ~, commonly known as a tilde, is a backup of your Windows Address Book. It is appearing as a result of the April 2003 Cumulative Patch for Outlook Express (330994). The patch is installed for Outlook Express 5.5 or 6 in response to a vulnerability that could allow an attacker to run code of the attacker?s choice on a user?s machine. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would have to be able to cause Windows to open a specially constructed MHTML URL, either on a web site or included in an HTML email message.

Unfortunately, there is a bug in the patch.Whenever you make a change in your Windows Address Book file (*.wab file), Windows makes a backup of this file. Generally this backup is called username.wa~ , however after the patch is installed the backup gets renamed to just ~ instead and saved in the directory where you start your Outlook Express. Most of the time, people start Outlook Express from a shortcut on their desktop, so the backup file gets placed there. This is how the tilde (~) file arrives on your desktop.
