Unknown file in WINDOWS\system32\Microsoft\Protect\S-1-5-18\
Some new files appeared on one of our servers the other day and I am trying to identify what it is. The file is C:\WINDOWS\system32\Micros oft\Protec t\S-1-5-18 \5fb8c11a- 4409-4d41- b8b6-5d533 11eebe1. It is a hidden file and the contents are unreadable. Does anyone know what goes in this protect folder? Thanks.

That would be the system restore files.
To turn off system restore:
o disable System Restore: Start=>Control Panel=>Performance & Maintenance=>System Applet=>
1. On the System Applet, Click the System Restore tab,
2. Check the Turn off System Restore box,
3. Click OK, then click Yes. This will initiate the restore point purging process.
4. To re-enable System Restore, clear the Turn-Off System Restore check box from the same location
Hope this helps!
