Stalker Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 (edited) this exe file appeared in my Windows/System folder and in my Autostart group on friday. I don't know what it is. I scanned that file with NAV but it is not infected. anyone knows what it could be??? the properties say it's from www.callinghome.biz and it's a "caller"....

Crimson Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Sounds like spyware/adware. Use Spybot or Ad-aware to get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannik Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 The file is in fact spyware. The name of the executable is generated randomly each time it infests a system. This link details how to remove it. Ignore the fact that the filename is different, that's part of this malware's mode of operation. Also, PestPatrol claims to detect and remove that particular trojan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
