    Just wondering if anyone has any idea what this file does? I think it's spyware related, but I'm unable to find out much about it.

    Yes it sounds like what we classify as an unknown trojan. Run the steps below so we can check out and clean up your PC.

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).

    Thanks for the reply chaslang. This file is on a friend of mines computer. He's been having trouble, and this is a file that McAffee found.
    I will direct him here so he can run the programs you have listed.
    Again, thanks.

    OK! Make sure you direct him to this thread and have him post his results here. Make sure he indicates who he is so we do not tell him to post in his own thread.
