thanx to your site, I was able to find out what these files did. However, My security system (Mc afee) is running this executable file and using 90+ % of my cpu's power. How can I determine if this is a legit file before I dump it in the trash bin? If it's not a legit file (trojan), will trashing it actually take care of the problem? Paul

What is the executable file that is consuming 90% of resources?

How much memory is in the system?

What OS is it?

What other processes are running?

Hi

If you think it may be a trojan, then your Mcafee scanner should have picked it up. When you say security system do you mean firewall and virus scanner? You should update your virus scanner and run a full system scan. If you have a 'security system' in place, this trojan should have been identified and removed.

Have you contacted Mcafee about this, or searched their knowledge base?

Good luck
