  • Next time, to have code show up, indent the line it appears on by four (4) spaces.

Googling octalforty Exile 1.7 shows that it is a Password Manager. This file appears to be a general configuration file (probably in the AppData folder or the program folder). You appear to have last used Exile to open the file C:\Users\me\Desktop\OctilePasswordfile.pws, presumably a password file.

I don't think an XML file can be spyware on its own. This file looks like a configuration file for some program named octalforty Exile 1.7. Made by octalforty studios. It's possible that this Exile app is spyware, but there's really not enough to make a decision here.

  • Octalforty Exile is an open-source password manager, definitely not spyware.

XML files are just used to store information in a particular format. I can't think of any instance where an XML file itself could be spyware; it's just a text file. At worst an XML file (like any text file) could be used to store information harvested by spyware. In this case it looks pretty benign. Octalforty Exile is an open-source (free) password manager available from The Code Project.

XML files are used by a lot of programs to store data that applies to things like configuration and database type information.
