Ping Empty File (VT scan)

Viruses and worms
1

Hi All,

I have noticed a Ping file left on the following location on my computer.
C:\Users(username)

The file seems to be an archive of some sorts and just provides the letters “ping” I have ran a search on VT and it seems to be a new file type threat.

I scanned the file with the following programs
VT, Avast & MBAM all coming up with no positive hit.
I did have to Ping google yesturday as my connection was super slow and i needed the stats to show the ISP. They said i had to ping there echo address followed by -T
This seems to be a batch file created after running a command given to me by my ISP using the echo isp’sechoserver -t it created the ping batch file found on my user location.
Your help would be super awesome.
