Does anyone know this?
Have you done a google search for the file name ?
A google search returns a few hits, but they need translating (Italian), at least for me.
What is your operating system winXP, win98, etc. ?
What makes you think it is a virus ?
Where was it found example (C:\windows\system32\infected-file-name.xxx) ?
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode Ewido anti-spyware If using winXP. or a-Squared free if using win98/ME.
The first site mentions running smitfraud, however, wait to see what either ewido or a-squared find first.
This one has a combined removal tool with instructions , courtesy of my Netherlander friend

Yes I found something on google but nothing defined. It’s a process i saw running in Task Manager but a complete search on the disks didn’t return any result (the file seems not to exist).
I have XP, I’ll follow instructions and then get back. Thanx.
If it is running as a service then it is malware
