ACTUALLY:

This Ahmbed file came WITH the file I downloaded here:

< http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?loc=en%5Fus& product=indesign>

The archive file, called

ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe is 463 MB->

By running the EXE the installer package Extracts the CS3 Installer to where you point it on your hard drive:

Here is the TREE from where I installed it to- I dont know if your OSX has a Tree command like this, but Windows DOES:

C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>tree /f
Folder PATH listing for volume VistS__t-PC
Volume serial number is 0015F688 88B7:8570
C:.
└───Adobe CS3

│ Setup.exe
│ WinBootstrapper.msi

C:\DOWNLOAD\Adobe CS3\Photoshop>

Note that if I got this in a Windows version straight from ADOBE- And you guys have it in the MAC version...

And I know where i got it, I downloaded the TRIAL version of CS3 from Adobe. THIS FILE is part of the Adobe Package. DON'T KNOW what it is, but certainly, if you don't like it, you can delete it, like I did, with no Ill effects.

If it IS a virus however, then someone at ADOBE put this thing right into the package.

IT IS NOT A CRACK. A Crack for CS3 is the entire Photoshop.exe file, 43 Megabytes- It is dropped into the Photoshop directory before initially running any part of CS3, then when Photosho.exe is run, it inserts a serial number and activates it, bypassing the flexLM licence manager.

THAT is how a Photochop crack works, one of the cracks I have seen- Others are simply Keygens, like CS2, you perform a Phone Activation, enter the Acvitation code into the keygen, and it spits out the answer code.

THIS little POS file however, is NOT a keygenm and it is NOT an exe that can be dropped into a folder, it is simply extra code left over from installing CS3, and Adobe made it.
