Default Has my Blackberry Curve been Hacked or am I being Paranoid?

Please Login to Remove!

Ichecked my Blackberry Curve 8320's device memory for the first time ever yesterday and I noticed that after clicking Explore & than Device Memory my screen lists: Music, Pictures, Ringtones, & Videos, but under Videos there is a single file not in a folder titled: "ant_setup.exe". It's file size is 1.4MB and was last modified on Jan. 2 at 3:37. When I try to open the file it says "Unable to display file/Device Memory/Home/User/ant_setup.exe". I've tried to bluetooth the file to a friend's phone and open it there but every time I try this the file say that it transferred on my blackberry but on my friend's phone says "Transfer could not be completed." I've tried emailing the file by opening up the browser and using Google and adding the attachment as a file and try to send via wifi but it will not send because of it exceeds Java-something or another. I personally can say that I did not download this file on my blackberry, but I have let some sketchy coworkers in the pass use it to make a call or check some stuff on the web. The reason I'm concerned is because when I Googled "ant_setup.exe" I got this:

ANT_SETUP.EXE has been seen to perform the following behavior:
* This process creates other processes on disk
* Executes a Process
ANT_SETUP.EXE has been the subject of the following behavior:
* Created as a process on disk
* Executed by Internet Explorer
* Executed as a Process
* Deleted as a process from disk
ANT_SETUP[n].EXE has been seen to perform the following behavior:
* Executes a Process
* This process creates other processes on disk
* Writes to another Process's Virtual Memory (Process Hijacking)
ANT_SETUP[n].EXE has been the subject of the following behavior:
* Created as a process on disk
* Deleted as a process from disk
* Executed as a Process
* Has code inserted into its Virtual Memory space by other programs
* Executed by Internet Explorer
(From Prevx.com)

Is there anyway to access this file from Blackberry or PC by any means. I know I could have it simply deleted but I want to know what exactly this file is.

An exe file is for windows and won't affect your berry.. So there's nothing to worry about. That being said, I still wonder how it got there...

Could possibly be on the memory card from a previous user...?

Maybe if you bought the memory card as used, or even if you bought it from a store it could have been a re-packaged return or something to that effect.

If you don't know what it is or what it does, don't try to run it. Could be a virus, a trojan, or any number of other good and bad things.

My advice is delete it.
