5 74 KB \Program Files\Cybws nt\Cache\dns
All begin with the (apparent) address: \Program Files\Cybws [space] nt\cache
The ones at the end appear to be a directory, a dns address, and an index of the other cache files.
I have searched for these files both manually (via Windows Explorer) and with the Windows Search function. I cannot locate any such files, even will full searches for hidden and system files.
I know just enough of computers to suspect that these are hidden in some way, and are probable caches of user information waiting to be transmitted to the address of the Keylogger or other malware that I removed.
A web search for "Cybws" turned up nothing, the start of the address may be a random selection.
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to uncover these files and delete them? They are apparently not doing any harm (other than taking up a few megs on a 32 gig hard drive) but I would like to get them out.
My worst fear: Could these be artifacts of a rootkit program that is interceptig my directory requests?
