None of my other application viewers show this application, called abnon.
I have searched Win\XP pro sp1 including hidden and sys files. Google is of no help. Very curious about this. Any input appreciated

Are you running the latest version of CCleaner?

If so, is there a program icon listed next to abnon, as there is with the other applications?

Is it mentioned in add/remove programs in the control panel?

Hello mozer,
In my spare moments I did alot of searching myself.
Basically it comes down to that name being mentioned in relationship to games.Mythic Hero type name
"ABNON".
Anybody you know possibly put a game there?A game called abnon.
Some friends,relative kids,etc ?
When you look in /PROGRAM FILES/ do you see "abnon" there.Is it hidden?
Don't accidentally double- click it.We still don't know what it is.RIGHT CLICK IT and select PROPERTIES .
What shows there,Size, FILE type etc. Especially DATE CREATED ,any comments, other tabs.
This info may help you determine what it is.
I haven't heard about any listing "quirks" that the development team may have left behind.Not out of the question though.
The most popular other use of the term "abnon" is medical related.Ring any bells?
Worst case is it is some sort of malware and should be handled in a way that somebody like "rridgley"
should be consulted.
You don't want to Execute it or Open it.
That's the best info I can give you at this time.
Hope it's just a development left-over "bug" or a game..
Good Luck,
:) davey
