    SAS found nothing while scanning. Google says that is a malicious exe. I have it locked down with Comodo. Can someone tell me what this is?

    Avira found nothing either. No scanner found it. I'll try combo fix if that does not find it a full system restore is what I will do.

    Upload the file to VT or SAS FRC. It's possible the file is a part of Asus.

    IIRC, isn't the file path visible in Pending File List? If not try C:\WINDOWS\system32\acovcnt.exe. It may be hidden though.

    It's in the System32 folder, but I guess you ask, because it's hidden (?). If it is : open a folder > Tools > Folder Options > View > checkmark the checkbox labeled Display the contents of system folders > select Show hidden files and folders > Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide protected operating system files > Remove the checkmark from the checkbox labeled Hide file extensions for known file types. That should do it. I gather you allready know that. If so: elaborate.

    Show us a screenshot of prnding files. There must be the path. Then use gmer or root repeal to explore and grab the file if it,s hidden.
