Strange file in Application support

Hi,


I found a strange file inside ~/Library/Application Support.


The file is called "STR8369805638PUB6932583035105".


The content of file is : "Deleting this file will break the whole internets, for the sake of our children don't do it!"


I found very few informations on Internet concerning this file except on this forum : http://www.apfeltalk.de/forum/showthread.php?t=395638


What can be this file ?


Thanks

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I know it's an old post but I had the same problem. That file is created by an application called AppWrapper (www.ohanaware.com/appwrapper/) or possibly by another app from the same company which suffers from the same problem. I think it's just a bug, instead of creating the file inside the ~/Library/Application Support/appwrapper folder it creates it in ~/Library/Application Support.


I discussed how I found out about it in a stackexchange post http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/83816/deleting-this-file-will-break-the -whole-internets-for-the-sake-of-our-children
