What is the rundb.exe? This process constantly takes up between 50-98% of my processor time as well as a significant amount of memory on my XP SP2 machine. I need to know what it is for and if I can get rid of it. If I can get rid of it, how?

Thanks
Kent

Apparently, it is a trojan.

It is a trojan.
1) Change the permissions on the file to everyone
2) Use safe mode to delete the file
3) if safe mode won't work, try something like knoppix, commander, or the recovery console
