    Hello.

    I have a program that is wanting to access the internet when my computer starts. I have ZoneAlarm blocking it until I can find out what it is, but googling it doesn't turn up much. I was wondering if anybody here might know anything about it? It is located in the Windows folder (C:\Windows). I am running Windows XP Home.

    Thanks!

    No it is not valid and normally is found running as an NT Service. It has been named Backdoor.Rbot.avc by Ewido. Try giving the below a run and see if it helps:
