    Unexplained self created files


    Hi folks, Can anyone explain why these files keeps popping up even after they are deleted? They are not "hidden" files. Antivirus did not detected anything but they are pretty annoying as I have them in my business folder. My windows 10 crash regularly even after reinstallation but not sure if this is connected.Thanks

    :)

  3. Nokia X6 - unexplained active connection

    oh dear - another unexplained connection established this morning!



    i've checked the packet data setting - it was set to "when needed".



    I've taken the bold step of deleting "Vodafone internet GPRS" from the list of internet destinations. I now only have wifi connections stored in the internet destinations folder.



    I expected therefore to now be unable to connect to the internet via GPRS, and this has indeed happened. I will phone vodafone and get them to resend the GPRS settings via text.



    Boring.



    In the meantime i know for sure that the phone won't be able to establish any unexplained connections!



    the mystery continues though.....



    i'll wait a while though - something (an app) may prompt me that it wants to connect to the internet and so i'll hopefully be able to identify the culprit then!
