    I just saw this msworld.exe running as KIS 2007 prompted it wanted internet access. Some sites say its a backdoor trojan. Any idea what it is exactly and where it could have come from.

    Search for the file locally and examine the properties and where the file is located.
    Upload to VirusTotal scan as msworld.exe maybe apart of legit software.
