Ever had stuff just "Appear" on your computer?
Was downloading a cluster database, Then about 7 hours later. I notice a mystery file on my desktop.

New Text Document.
1,000,000 lines of text in it.
Each line says.
328595 bfc294f89db0430cdf5a1593cf53278f dhbjhdbjhdjhdbjhd@yahoo.com

which translates to
(Possible login ID for a site?) derd (Some random email?)

My computer is pretty secure and as you know I am not the type to "download a bunch of files like some newb faggot"

So...The fuck just happened?...Maybe I accidentally ran a script I made for something and got douched?

Edit:
Appears to have been created exactly 9 days and 12hours ago (And modified one minute later)
Odd thing is...I didn't download or install anything on that day o.0

such a strange turn of events.

Thats extremely odd. Not sure what it is, but you could google it. Anything that might give you an idea of a programming language? Because you can obfuscate code and all of that.

When I was 12 my computer slowed to a crawl. I ran a virus scan, and noticed a huge number of files i'd never seen before get scanned.
Go to folder (hidden), thousands of movies.

I scan my desktop on a daily basis, Always have a firewall up, Tor, And write my own programs / wares unless it is a well known publisher. (IE: Yahoo, Steam, Msn, Ect)
so...I doubt its a virus o.0

Some software probably put it there. In windows, software doesnt have to ask for permission if it doesnt want to.
