    Has anyone heard of Output.cab?
    « on: February 11, 2008, 04:24:43 PM »
    I found this on my desktop tonight and I don't know what it is or where it came from.  I went to Add/Remove and I can't find it there.  I'm sure I did something stupid again but I even googled it and couldn't find anything.  Does anyone have any ideas on this one?

      How big is it?
      Usually a .cab file is a package that contains other files. The fact that it is named output.cab leads me to believe you might have accidentally created it. If it's a 0 byte file you can delete it. If it's a largeish file you may want to find out what's in it first.

        I couldn't find anything in my Add/Remove programs so I right clicked it and deleted it.  Do you think there's something else I should do?

        We cleaned your computer pretty recently, right?
        You should be OK.
        In the future, as The Emperor said, it's better to ask a question here, before deleting.
        Now, it's gone, so be it.

            I remember what happened now.  When I was having that problem with the Symantec message (previous post)  in my Incredimail emails I emailed Incredimail and they asked me to download Output.cab which I did and I received an email from them tonight saying they are working on it.  I'll keep you posted.  So it wasn't a bad thing Emporer!!!!
