safe to delete??

[kelojo]

   My OS = Win95.. Any idea what this file/folder is:
lpt$vpm.590 - (Properties = Origin WINDOWS - created April 21 2005).  I deleted it on 4/22/05 and its now sitting in the Recycle Bin. To date, I have had no problems booting up, etc. and I'd just like to know if its "safe" to purge it once & for all from my RB since its hogging 14 mb of my hd. What significance, if any, is this file?

I did use TrendMicro online scan - the program is not installed by me on my pc - I only use the online scan...so is it "safe" to delete that file now? Thanks.

It's a funny thing... Microsoft had no information on it... I would say that ti is, but you might want to wait for another forum member to tell you as well.... Just for assurance...

It comes up on google as virus deffinitions for trend micro except that file is lpt$vpN.590 not m, maybe a typo. They come up as virus deffinitions. Its only 14 mb, how much of a differance is that, I'd keep it.
