Anyone know what this file comes from? Seems like something is slowing my
whole system down and it´s not found by my virusscans.

It is probably a copy of your MS Works Address Book, it
is sometimes created wrongly by the program. If so, it is
unlikely to be doing any harm.

I have seen a more detailed explanation in one of the MS
newsgroups (possibly MS Works for Windows).

Try comparing its size, creation and modificaiotn dates
with your address book (search for .wab in your user
folder).

I am not too sure why you think it is slowing your system
down. You could always rename it to ~.old and see what
happens
