What is the gbas.so file on my home directory?

I delete the gbas.so file from my home directory but it keeps coming back. Where does it come from?

Solution 1:

As mentioned by nelaar, ".so" files are usually shared binary libraries. Try doing "readelf -a gbas.so", it might give you some information about what the file contains (if it really is a library file).

Solution 2:

It is related to the safety solution of Banco do Brasil. The java applet downloads these files everytime you access your homebanking.
