GDIPFONTCACHEV1
Hello Questioner,
According to a Pest Patrol analysis page, GDIPFONTCACHEV1 is not a pest. http://research.pestpatrol.com/Analy...-13_001701.asp I just checked my own PC, and I have this file in 9 different folders, including C:\I386. Some of the create dates for this file match the original manufacture date of my Dell computer, so if I'm being compromised, it's been going on for 3 1/2 years.

That depends on the file version.
LinkGrabber99 (popup adware) uses the same file name as one of it's active files. -- Larry Samuels Associate Expert MS-MVP (2001-2005) Unofficial FAQ for Windows Server 2003 at http://pelos.us/SERVER.htm Expert Zone- www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone "Alan" wrote in message ...

Hi Larry,
Well, none of the various GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT files on my computer seem to have any file versions associated with it on my PC. When I click Properties on any of them, there isn't a Version tab available. In fact, if I right click on _MOST_ of the 755 *.DAT files in my C:\ drive and check in Properties, I don't have a Version Tab shown. If any of these GDIPFONTCACHEV1.DAT files were part of a malware program, wouldn't Windows Defender, Ad-Aware, SpyBot, Pest-Patrol, etc. flag any of them? Alan "Larry Samuels" wrote in message ...

I picked up this description off a website which may be of interest to you:
"The gdipfontcachev1.dat file is dangerous to the computer system and your privacy. It belongs to a parasite, whose payload may differ depending on its type. While relatively harmless pests may use gdipfontcachev1.dat to degrade system performance, display commercial advertisements or perform other annoying actions, really dangerous parasites may use gdipfontcachev1.dat to damage your system, infect files, corrupt installed software and violate your privacy. DO NOT open this file! "The gdipfontcachev1.dat file is installed and used by LinkGrabber 99. Please note that the gdipfontcachev1.dat file actually may be a fully legitimate part of the operating system or legitimate software. Often parasites use files with unsuspicious names, but malicious functionality. You should always carefully check the file before deleting it. It may not be related with malware, but can be required by your essential programs to work properly." "Questioner" wrote: Does anyone know what GDIPFONTCACHEV1 is?

Hi Tonyo,
It seems as if that's the problem with trying to determine whether this file is "bad" or not. Depending upon various sources found via Google, opinions range from its being harmless to your description of its being "dangerous." This is not just directed at you, but is there some way of anyone knowing for sure? Alan "Tonyo UK" wrote in message ...

Hi Alan,
Sorry, my reply was misleading. I didn't mean check the version tab since that is easily alterable by editing the metadata. What I meant was to check the file size/hash against known good versions installed by legitimate programs. There is every probability that all the versions on YOUR pc are legit. That is probably not the case with Questioner's pc since he/she tried to delete the file. Something must have flagged the file to bring it to their attention and make them try to delete it. -- Larry Samuels Associate Expert MS-MVP (2001-2005) Unofficial FAQ for Windows Server 2003 at http://pelos.us/SERVER.htm Expert Zone- www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone "Alan" wrote in message ...

GDIPFONTCACHEV1
It seems to be some kind of component of XML or other coding
language. I have this module on different OS'es (XP, Server 2003). There appears to be an instance in the \Application Data subfolder of the profile and another one in the \Local Settings\ tree. I was searching around for info and read through a certification for Visual .Net and it made reference to leaving the .Dat after uninstall. Whatever it's function, it doesn't seem to get accessed/updated as both copies on my primary machine have quite old "Last Modified" time stamps. The module is also found on a Windows 2000 instance.
