Another, find the executable and see who packaged it.... Try and get the properties of the file, version, manufacturer etc. It may actually be a leginamate program. Try some of the online virus scanners.... No, installing virus protection now is too late if it is a virus. | | | -------------------------------------- | Mark Haney | Network Administrator | InterAct Public Safety Systems | mhaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx | Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) Kernel: 2.6.8-1.521 GNU/Linux | 17:03:12 up 9:23, 2 users, load average: 1.89, 2.15, 2.02 | | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBUY4Lc7lFLjBWKW0RAgpNAJ0V2tvCCHy1XWywAoRhngP0UY1ThwCggsIi TFFLnd7CqD9Lvy1TVkQ9W4Q= =jbsF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
