638832 2008-02-09 08:42:00 I noticed today a file I had never seen before on my vista home premium Acer laptop named "erecoveryagent". It was in the taskbar and did not seem to be doing much. Right clicking produced a small, what looked like a HDD, and had asian characters with it.

Anyone know what this is, or might be?

I ran Adaware, Spybot, AVG anti spyware and AVG, but they found nothing.

638834 2008-02-09 08:56:00 Thanks wainuitech, bit of a relief, I have had this machine for awhile now and had not noticed it before. Thought I had picked up a bug! curly (6655)
