549589 2007-05-13 22:24:00 Hmmm looks like the Apppatch folder is an XP folder. So, it's legit.

Something to do with Applications, and using Compatibility mode. Or something.

However, it also looks like a trojan (www.sophos.com) can add a few more files and folders to it.

I would check the site above, and see if the files on that site are in your folder.
