Hi, I've noticed these four files in C:\
C:\>DIR C:\ /A-D-H
Directory of C:\
26/01/2010 19:39 0 pcconf.ini
26/01/2010 19:39 0 pcwords.dat
26/01/2010 19:39 0 pcwords2.dat
26/01/2010 19:39 0 pc_sign.slf
4 File(s) 0 bytes
As I like to keep my disk clean at all times, I wanted to know where these files come from, and with some investigation discovered they were created by BitDefender Anti-Virus 2010.
I looked on the forums and in another topic it was stated that these files are part of BitDefender Parental Controls. Since I do not have Parental Controls, (and Privacy Control is disabled, and I can't see anything else with initials PC), surely BitDefender has no need to create these files at all?
Also, if it did need to create these files it would be a good idea to name them so that you can tell they are connected with BitDefender. By putting them in a common directory such as C:\ and giving them such generic filenames, you risk clashing with other software that may produce files with the same names. Also it's just bad etiquette to create files in C:\ without providing a clue as to where they are from.
