Gooday all, I was hunting around to try and get rid of something else when I found this little file. It says DO NOT SEND ANY EMAIL TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESSES. aadr2@xinul.com, addr4@xinul.com and addr6@xinul.com. I googled and got 2 german responses and 1 japanese. None the wiser. Any info would be appreciated. Should I ditch it. ? Thanks in advance. Regards, James.

These files are a part of Avira Antivir PE Classic, and there's no problem, if you have Avira on your machine..
Avira tries to get samples of mail worms with this file. If a worm scans a disk for email adresses, the worm will find this file and send copies of itself to Avira.
