I decided to clear some stuff from 'My documents' and I keep coming across PPThums.ptn which cannot be read anyway. When i ran a search it is in loads of things. Is it a virus.Can I delete it without damage to the PC
PPThumbs.ptn files are created by Scansoft's program called Paperport, to hold "thumbnail" images. According to Scansoft technical support, you may delete these files, but they will be recreated as soon as you run Paperport again.
