a .dll file in the windows system folder
[not high on the curious co-worker list of snoop folders ;-) ]
and there are so many of them that most people have no idea of what
they do,
or if they are legitimately required to be there

you can call it something benign and not unexpected, like
'AdobeUPD.dll'
(although i don't remember ever seeing a dll file 5mb or greater)
