The blank.gif file is dangerous to the computer system and your privacy. It belongs to a parasite, whose payload may differ depending on its type. While relatively harmless pests may use blank.gif to degrade system performance, display commercial advertisements or perform other annoying actions, really dangerous parasites may use blank.gif to damage your system, infect files, corrupt installed software and violate your privacy. DO NOT open this file!
The blank.gif file is installed and used by System Tuner.
Please note that the blank.gif file actually may be a fully legitimate part of the operating system or legitimate software. Often parasites use files with unsuspicious names, but malicious functionality. You should always carefully check the file before deleting it. It may not be related with malware, but can be required by your essential programs to work properly.
