816193 2009-10-02 23:12:00 Yea I know its not anything sinister. I have been on google for the last 20min but havnt found a definite answer. xyz823 (13649)
816194 2009-10-02 23:14:00 Depends what folder its in. And what version of windows youre using. If its not in the system32 folder it maybe a worm/trojan. There's a lot of trojans / worms / malware that have the same name as windows files. Only diff is, they're usually in a different folder. This is what it is and does (www.tech-faq.com)

Dont ask me what that means, because I dont know
