Hi Steve, Well, according to this response, it's not adware: "umm figured it out..

Hello Questioner, According to a Pest Patrol analysis page, GDIPFONTCACHEV1 is not a pest. http://research.pestpatrol.com/Analyses/2004-05-13_001701.asp I just checked my own PC, and I have this file in 9 different folders, including C:\I386. Some of the create dates for this file match the original manufacture date of my Dell computer, so if I'm being compromised, it's been going on for 3 1/2 years.

And still _another_ Pest Patrol link, assuring it's not a "pest:" http://research.pestpatrol.com/Search/FileInfoResults.asp?MD5=03764210531e5ab4faa547d82f90c0fe Alan "Questioner" <Questioner@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D4C31329-F4E5-4B29-A773-3E6F389C83E5@microsoft.com... > Does anyone know what GDIPFONTCACHEV1 is?

That depends on the file version. LinkGrabber99 (popup adware) uses the same file name as one of it's active files. -- Larry Samuels Associate Expert MS-MVP (2001-2005) Unofficial faq for windows Server 2003 at http://pelos.us/SERVER.htm Expert Zone- www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone "Alan" <somewhere@nospam.pew> wrote in message news:128s16rhu5icg01@corp.supernews.com... > And still _another_ Pest Patrol link, assuring it's not a "pest:" > > > http://research.pestpatrol.com/Search/FileInfoResults.asp?MD5=03764210531e5ab4faa547d82f90c0fe > > Alan > > "Questioner" <Questioner@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:D4C31329-F4E5-4B29-A773-3E6F389C83E5@microsoft.com... >> Does anyone know what GDIPFONTCACHEV1 is?

Hi Larry, Well, none of the various GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT files on my computer seem to have any file versions associated with it on my PC. When I click Properties on any of them, there isn't a version tab available. In fact, if I right click on _MOST_ of the 755 *.DAT files in my C:\ drive and check in Properties, I don't have a version Tab shown. If any of these GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT files were part of a malware program, wouldn't windows Defender, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, Pest-Patrol, etc. flag any of them?

Hi Alan, Sorry, my reply was misleading. I didn't mean check the version tab since that is easily alterable by editing the metadata. What I meant was to check the file size/hash against known good versions installed by legitimate programs. There is every probability that all the versions on YOUR pc are legit. That is probably not the case with Questioner's pc since he/she tried to delete the file. Something must have flagged the file to bring it to their attention and make them try to delete it. -- Larry Samuels Associate Expert MS-MVP (2001-2005) Unofficial faq for windows Server 2003 at http://pelos.us/SERVER.htm Expert Zone- www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone "Alan" <somewhere@nospam.pew> wrote in message news:128t51cani3bseb@corp.supernews.com... > Hi Larry, > > Well, none of the various GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT files on my computer seem to > have any file versions associated with it on my PC.
