    Hi all

    I have run escan today and this is what it detected

    File C:\WINDOWS\_MSRSTRT.EXE tagged as not-a-virus:Tool.WinCap.Reboot. No Action Taken.
    File C:\System Volume Information\_restore{90C9B84D-6776-40CD-A73E-6B61368A0630}\RP89\A0021899.EXE tagged as not-a-virus:Tool.WinCap.Reboot. No Action Taken.
    File C:\WINDOWS\_MSRSTRT.EXE tagged as not-a-virus:Tool.WinCap.Reboot. No Action Taken.

    I have turned off system restore and ran Nod32, F-Prot AV's (they do not detect this), ewido and the usual antispyware apps.

    Cannot seem to get any information about this on the Trend, Kaspersky or Nod websites.

    Can anyone advise what to do? Should I delete this MSRSTRT.EXE manually?

    It's listed as "Not-a-virus" and more of a riskware-catagory thing, it upto you if you want to use it still, you are just being warned that programs/tools in this catagory is riskware. . Use Viruslist (Kaspersky), look under "behavior and use the "Not-a-virus" link. :)

    Cheers guys

    It was created on 05/23/05 so I think it's related to Windowblinds installation. I am going to remove it.

    ThanX again
