    Unrecognized pdf on PC, password protected
    « on: December 08, 2017, 09:42:08 PM »
    Hi all,

    I opened up a folder I don't usually open on my PC and I found two files in that folder I don't remember ever downloading. Both are pdf's. Both have a modification date dated before their creation date, and their creation date seems to be before I purchased the US. The files MAY come come from the transfer of files from my older laptop PC, but I'm not sure. Both filenames are strings of numbers, punctuated by underscores, that end in in the acronym or phrase MANAS. Unfortunately both docs are password protected at open. I have no idea what these passwords could be.

    This is really strange. Any ideas how I can know more about these files? What do I do?

    Thank you.

    I'd just delete them and do a virus scan to make sure all is good after deletion.
