Hey, I was cleaning out my computer, and noticed a file called SAS7_000.dat
I'm on a vista, and it's in my appdata roaming data, and don't remember seeing it before. A few weeks ago, I got a virus from a site (stupid rogue malware) but I took care of it, and cleaned up. So I doubt this has anything to do with it. (You may wonder why what I just said is relevant then- because I'm being cautious about anything in my computer =P)

I couldn't get much information from google, so if you could tell me what it is, and what .dat file it is attached to, that would be awesome! Thank you.
