perflib_perfdata_63c
Google is your friend...
Perflib_Perfdata Perflib_Perfdata is a name combined from two different words, Perflib which stands for Performance Library and the other Perfdata that means Performance Data. You can locate these files either at C:\Windows\System32 folder or at C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local folder. The files are created by the Operating System itself and are used by system monitoring programs that is by the programs that keep an eye on the system's performance like Disk Defrag tool. While you can't delete these files yourselves, they are deleted as soon as our system is shut down. However they are also formed back when we boot our computer. P.S. If the system crashes or is not shut down properly, these files remain in the folder and then can be deleted. These are genuine Windows files and have nothing to do with the viruses.

I tried to delete this bu it would not remove, I also tried shredder and still no removal. I ran SpySubtract and Norton and they both did not seem to identify this malware or spyware. Can anyone tell me what kind of file this is and why I can't get rid of it. Reminds me of the HighPerfCooker thing - odd name for a system file... |
