Need help tracking down an executable

    I have an executable running on a Windows XP box on startup:

    C:\Program Files\naspvq\cvywacski.exe

    I have tried to Google both the executable itself as well as the containing folder, and have thus far come up with nothing. I know this is a long shot, but is there anyone on here who might know what it is or what it's function is? Microsoft Forefront does not report it as malware, nor does Malwarebytes or Spybots, so I am unsure as to it's nature. It only exists on this one box in our network of around 300 machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think it is some sort of malware. The lack of vowels in the name seems to point to random naming of the file which helps keep specific names showing up in google searches and being identified as malware.

    It probably is listed in Start>Run>type in msconfig and hit enter. Then listed under the Startup items. You can uncheck it to keep it from starting but that won't remove it or tell you what it is.

    I would do the Read and Run Me required to post in the Malware forum and ask them to take a lok at your logs. They will be familiar with the types of malware going around and help you remove it permanently.

    Good Luck! :)

    Thanks, we will start with these processes and see where it leads us. Personally I thought it was some form of malware, but the inability to find any info online was throwing me off. I appreciate your help.
