This file and several other *.so files as well as some others showed up as Suspicious in Hitman Pro upon this mornings boot. As they were in a temp directory I decided to rar the directory and then delete it to see what may happen. I shut down, restarted and again they were found by Hitman Pro but, in a similarily named directory in the same place it was first found, I then tried just renaming the directory, but again, they appeared after a shut down and restart. I rooted through the directories and found that these files were connected to my newly installed VPN software installed the previous night. I have now set them to be ignored in the future.

I am no computer expert and if something is different than I am assuming, you know what they say about that, I would be absolutely interested in knowing, thanks.
