What is ispr108.exe doing on my computer?
Harmless or dangerous?
If no good, how to remove?

I finally could delete the file.
There are apparently no consequences, everything works fine .....

here is a link that I found interesting. http://virscan.org/report/f8f2196e45f5a224c804e1cc09fba048.html

There doesn't seem like there is alot of information about the .exe. I would run a scan with spybot S&D or the scanner of your choice... if they don't show up with anything I wouldn't think much of it... Just to double check make sure your AV is up to date also. how did you find the file in the first place?

ispr108.exe showed up in the Process Explorer by Sysinternals.
Just now, it does not show. It is present now and then, but why?
Killing the file is not possible.
No useful info on Google about it.
I run Spybot and Norton AV, all is ok.
Probably ispr108.exe is ok too, but what is it good for ?

Your link indicates the file I have, but there is no explanation.
file properties:
version: 3.0.3316.21847
24 576 bytes
It may be linked to the Internet Explorer.
I finally succeed deleting the file, hopefully after reboot, I may still be able to communicate with you!
Kind regards,
Hanns

Either from the International Society for Paranormal Research, or possibly an InstallShield file. Can you check the file properties?

by hanns

ispr108.exe was placed in the Docs+Settings folder, but hidden under \local settings\TempImages.
Right now, as it is not a running process, I succeded deleting the file.
Hopefully, I did nothing wrong.
Thanks for your attention,

If it is it's brand new first reported 2/20/09.
Maybe run it through a few scanners, trend micro, panda, etc and see what they say.

Thank you, Kenone
As you recommended, I tested my PC with Sophos and ispr108.exe came up as a virus ...
This may be correct, or not.
The file is deleted now, the world goes on rotating as ever !

probably no great loss, even if not a Trojan.

Here's to no other potentially malicious files being in your system. Cheers.
