Not nasty, just an invisible locked file.  DiskExpress II puts a file
called [DiskExpress Activity Log] (yes, the name includes the []'s) on
each volume it monitors (or optimizes?).  As I said, the file is locked
and invisible.  You should be able to remove it using any program or DA
that allows you to lock and unlock invisible files (or you could make it
visible and then remove it from the Finder).  DiskTop and ResEdit I know
will do it (I just tried), but I'm sure there are lots of others.
