Yeah, I wondered so did a full scan. Its a work machine and it uses Trend. It might be something installed as part of the image, but I doubt that as I installed Visual Studio myself. Virus scan found nothing. Its got to be an add in or Visual studio itself as SysInternals is showing devenv.exe as the process opening the file. I'll keep looking, its suspicious when you can't identify something like this. I might just be paranoid. Why? Who's asking? ;)
