Windows 10: Strange file found

The short version is that I found this file about 8 months ago and called windows phone support.


No one there had any idea as what it was. All scans have comw up negative for malware. There is


no information about it on the web that I could find. I have attached a pic of the file as I first became


became aware of it under the Windows Start-up menu choice of NU16. The file no longer seems to be


on my machine as a search does not find it.


Thanks - Just Curious

Strange files

Hello Chao,

Let's determine the cause of the issue. To get started, we'd like to clarify if you've downloaded any files before the albumart JPG file appeared.

If you're not comfortable seeing the files, you can hide it by following these steps:

• Right-click on the file, and select Properties.
• Click General Tab.
• Under Attributes, select Hidden and click
  OK.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

Perhaps members of HTG fancy TPU?

I see that a simple Google search of "hide mp3 in png" would have done the trick.

Also, no, the steps I listed are the only ones to take.
