    You are really clueless... it's about image files in a different format... nothing that requires deletion!!!

    I have never heard of this extension, be careful it could be viruses, scan it with an antivirus, you never know.

    Hi,

    A game file usually has two types of extensions: ISO or EXE,

    Honestly, I share clador's opinion, handle this file with utmost caution as it really seems strange as an extension.

    Hello Aminrod,

    delete them right away, and above all, don't try to find out what's inside.
    clear your browser caches + cookies + history + etc.
    and delete all your \temp files
    and if you have Ccleaner, run it.
    do a deep scan with your protection software.
    check this link from the University of Rennes for what it says

    have a good evening

    Thank you for responding so quickly to my question
    now that I know more about what this file can be, I will eliminate it from the PC
    and delete everything that is common with it
    thank you all and have a good evening

    ps: I won't forget to scan
