    The newest build of TH v4.5 creates a randomly named file, and keyfinder.exe that are being detected as Win32/PSWTool.RAS.A application.

    Both files are created in a temp directory.

    Any suggestions.

    TrojanHunter doesn't create a file called keyfinder.exe... that file must come from somewhere else.

    Edit: If TrojanHunter is scanning a zip or rar archive that containes a file called keyfinder.exe then that is why the files are being created in the temp folder.

    And AMON detects it during unpacking process. When you enable Archiv Scanning in NOD32 a nod32 on demand scan will find this too.

    Thanks for all the replies and good info. The keyfinder.exe file is explained, and I'll find it and remove it. Still wondering about the randomly named file that NOD alerted on, but will see if removing the keyfinder solves the problem.

    Magnus, as a loyal TH user for years, I appreciate your response. The NOD alert indicated the files were created by TH, and it seemed a fp by NOD.

    Removed an unused zip file, problem solved.

    Resolved: Think before posting!

    I get the feeling you used Magic jellybean on this system. ;)
