Hello All,
   Im kinda worried. I found 5 folders with icons that look like a notepad
file
with gears on top of it. The were on my C: drive in the windows folder.
Anyway,
The files were named "Holdem" "Holdem(1)" "holdem(2)" Etc.

Notepad with a gear is the Windows icon for an INI file, which is just
basically a text file with information for a program.

In this case, since they seem to have chip counts, I would guess that they
are left over from tournaments or something. Not a virus or anything like
that.

Be careful in how you open things on your hard drive. A white rectangle
with a blue border and a gear on it is the Windows symbol for a BAT
(batch) file, which will run a set of instructions when clicked on.
