Anybody know "spaxebg.exe"?

Does anyone out there know "spaxebg.exe"? I found this in my Windows system files, running, and tried to google it but came up empty. That shocks me, since I don't think google has ever failed to produce such a thing.

If you can't find it in google then treat it as a randomly generated name malicious executable. Some bugs will randomly create a name for such a reason.

No.

I have a file 'msmgrm.exe' that showed up on my pc a few weeks ago. I try to delete it, but it reinstalls itself in the \system32 directory.

None of the virus/spyware checkers recognize it as a threat.

Properties shows no identification information. Avorax Shield found it and is blocking it. It seems that that only other alternative is to reformat and reinstall.

All you Windows users could avoid all this virus crap if you'd run CP/M.

Or....

If we'd all disconnect from the Internet, we could avoid them. But, like junkies, we need that fix. The Internet connection is similar to the intravenous fix.

Don't believe me? How many hours can you go without checking out the FR news? How many minutes (or seconds) between browser page refreshing? See. You're hooked......too.

Nope - I'm not hooked - it's only a hobby. I can quit anytime I want. I don't have to be on here - I want to be on here. It's only a hobby...only a hobby....
