RapidLeech folder in /includes

I just noticed today that there is a rapidleech folder in my includes folder. Is this normal?

I can't think of any reason for it to be there.

Not familiar with that name...You might see what is in it and the date it was created compared to your others

Yep, rapidleech is the script that is used to download files from free file services (such as megaupload) to the server. If you did not put it there, probably your site has been compromised, someone put it there for their own use (and leech off your bandwidth)
