Is this a virus?
« on: December 17, 2007, 11:08:05 PM »
I use Windows XP Home Edition SP2.

After installing SpeedFan, I noticed a new icon on my desktop called:

initdebug.nfo

Is this file a virus?
Can I safely delete it without causing any damage?

Thank you.  ;)

It's a Speedfan file. This file (initdebug.nfo) was created by the 'give
i/o' service when you installed Speedfan, it apparently uses the
service/file to get values from temperature sensors in your PC.

You can delete this file!

Also most likely if it is a virus you wouldn't see it on your desktop, unless the guy who made the virus is retarded. lol
