Windows address book log file


[link to this post]
 
Newbie here.
I'm worried about a new log file in my App Data/local/Temp folder-

Path to wab32.dll:C\:Programm Files\Common Files\System\wab32.dll
wab32.dll loaded successfully
WABOpen entry point found successfully
Windows address book opened successfully
Reading WAB contents

There is then a list of all my contacts. Is this log, which frequently updates itself, normal or possibly spyware generated?

Using Vista home premium, IE7, outlook express. A full scan with Kaspersky IS 2010 did not find anything.

Thanks

I wouldn't be concerned about this, a google shows nothing untoward, if a virus was resulting in this behaviour there would normally be more results containing "suspected virus?" in them, etc. I found none.

Seeing as it is in the temp directory you *should* be able to safely delete it.

Hi Pipexer
I kept deleting it but it kept reappearing. I downloaded and ran Malwarebytes which found something called Worm.P2P which Kaspersky missed. After removal the log still kept reappearing but since a subsequent boot up it hasn't shown up (so far).
Maybe it wasn't relevant and just coincidence.
Maybe I'm just too paranoid.
