What the heck?

[gorgan]

I keep getting a file (notepad) appearing on my desktop called tesseract, with the following note inside it:

Tesseract Open Source OCR Engine
Image has 8 bits per pixel and size (112,32)

Where is this coming from and how do I get rid of it?
The lappy not connected to any Scanner or printer either.

Thanks in advance

Or better yet For some reason the above won't open on my PC but this will.

Aha!! The reason is the final ) is not part of the URL.

update your Antivirus and do a full scan? Something is using this to analyze screenshot of logins or passwords? Check running processes for strange things running on your laptop.
