    Though that I should put this in as I did not see anything specific on these files. My daughter, after running some kind of software (Kazaa???) left behind an interesting fiasco. On boot, two instances of internet explorer where running by themselves. Tried to "kill"/stop the processes and they would restart immediately. I found that two files where restarting these - "keep user.exe" and "body dvd.exe".

    Finally after stoping the iexplore process and immediately deleting these files (entire directory structure), I managed to stop this. If you need more info, let me know.

    Does anyone know where/what caused these to arrive on the PC???

    Thanks

    Running Mcafee with latest dats Adaware with latest updates and neither of these indicated anything. I can find no reference to these files and what their actual intention was.

    Does anyone know what they are and the intention? I have since cleaned it up (I think) but am quite curious as to what the files were attempting to do.

    Thanks!!!
