Just a database for the thumbnail images in the folder that it resides in...
You'll find others just like it all over, no worries.

Jack you'll find that Pest Patrol is not always very accurate. There is a
lot of better software around. A combination of Spyware Blaster
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html and Spyware Guard
http://www.wilderssecurity.net/spywareguard.html are excellent freeware
choices in keeping your system free of unwanted spyware.
