I think it's a common module from Kapersky code. Just check if you have the file.
It's a roach motel kind of thing. It stays behind no matter what.
I think for instance Zone Alarm installs it, and maybe AVG, in old versions at least.
Harmless to delete but it will grow again and you delete again after a few months.
Try going into safe mode, delete that file, then create a subfolder using
the exact name. i.e.
c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\fidbox.dat
If whichever software is creating that file doesn't complain and doesn't
delete that subfolder and replace it with a file, it'll never eat the disk
space again.
