From: dfrog on 30 Dec 2005 15:51 I'm confused........I've just noticed this in a folder along with 'mrt.exe_p' on my HDD, and searched for information. Some information gives it as 'uknown malware' that should be removed PDQ, other information (including 'properties') gives it as connected with M/Soft Malicious S/W removal tool. Adware/Spybot/MS Antispyware/Avast/Spycatcher all pass by and don't identify it. There is no adverse activity that I can monitor. Would appreciate other's views to help me do the right thing dfrog
