I have two of them, one for each computer. T hey both do the same thing.
So I am confident isn’t not malware or a virus. I checked with AV software to make sure.
This started the same day I used the MY book on each system.
Anyway, when I brought this to the attention of the tech guys, they
could not explain what the files were for, so I assume they didn’t
have any useful purpose.
I was told I had to stop a backup service to get rid of them. I would not complain, except
they were taking up a HUGE amount of my C partition, to the point where they choked off
the C drive entirely. One of them took up over 6 Gigabytes after being opened for a few hours ! !
Look in Windows\temp, you will see them on yours. I am curious to know how much space they are taking up.
They start with the letters: EQILTS or similar. No file extension.
If enough of you scream about this, maybe they will remedy the situation. There isn’t any good reason to leave the old
files around, they chew up so much space for no reason.
