Strange Transparency flattener preset appearing

Question

I'm in AI CS3 and when I go to the transparency flattener presets, there's always one in there with japanese characters. I delete it and it comes back next time. What's up with that?

Thanks, to get this working in a server script, I ended up just programmatically creating the flattener preset, rather than worrying about the .flst files.  (Java code below)
  //Setup Transparency Flattener (if not in application)
  FlattenerPreset flattenerPreset = app.getNamedChildFlattenerPreset("Test");
  if (flattenerPreset == null) {
      flattenerPreset = app.addFlattenerPreset();
      flattenerPreset.setName("Test");
      flattenerPreset.setRasterVectorBalance(VariableTypeUtils.createLong(100));
      flattenerPreset.setLineArtAndTextResolution(2400.0);
      flattenerPreset.setGradientAndMeshResolution(400.0);
      flattenerPreset.setConvertAllTextToOutlines(false);
      flattenerPreset.setConvertAllStrokesToOutlines(false);
      flattenerPreset.setClipComplexRegions(false);
  pdfPreset.setAppliedFlattenerPreset(flattenerPreset);
