I don't understand this but i want to know:
What is EN_US.DIC and is it safe?
What is en ca.dic and is it safe?
I have these two files in notebook on my computer. FYI: I am 77 and not a geek: I wish I was.
Thanks,

Hi yoyo
Welcome to the Community Forums.
From my research it would appear that EN_US.DIC is a US English Spell Checking Dictionary used by or for the OpenOffice.org application, and as such would appear to be perfectly safe.
The same goes for EN_CA.DIC which is the same but is for Canadian English.
I have both of these files on my system, in relation to my use of Adobe Reader DC, so this may be the same for you or it got be there associated with another legitimate application that includes spell checking feature.
I have scanned both of these with Webroot and they come up clean.
Hope that is of assistance?
