Very knowledgeable people in here and I would like some information.
C:\WINDOWS
WIN386.SWP
Access denied! Error during file opening!
This is a windows swap file. This file is
locked by windows.
Error Code: 0xFFFF
WARNING! Access error/file locked
I found the file in the windows setting and it says the file was created and the time was 12:49pm.
I know this is not ebay related but maybe it is since last week I received a virus from one of my buyers. It just seems like something is wrong. I can't pinpoint it.
Thanks in advance.

This one is a legit file. Windows uses it to help swap programs back and forth. The file is "locked" because you shouldn't mess with it. the date on it will "change" because the file changes all the time.
When ever you open more windows than you have memory (ram) for, something has to be swapped out of memory and on to disk.
All that said, I suppose it could get infected. but if a good up to date virus scan says your clean, I wouldn't worry about it.
