Re: Strange file in downloads folder ?
Was it called Genieo? Kev On 12 Nov 2014, at 9:58 am, Stephen Chape chap...@bigpond.com wrote: Hi folks, I discovered this morning a file in my downloads folder that I do not recall downloading.

Really strange though, because initially right clicking it would not even bring up a menu to delete. I have iMac Core i7 3.1GHz with 16GB RAM. December 2012 model.

Re: Strange file in downloads folder ?
Hi Stephen, Probably a photo recovery software 'trial' you downloaded back around 26/27 August Re your email request to WAMUG -Re: Recovering photos from an SD card ? Daniel suggested you use Picture Rescue 2 by Prosoft which you eventually did and recovered all your photos form the SD card.

Re: Strange file in downloads folder ?
Aha thank you Ronni, You are my human backup RAM. I believe you are correct ! Heavens …. I recently put my name down for an Alzheimers research program. But the tests showed I am low risk so was no good for the trial. Now this makes one wonder eh !
