Google has no clue. Try Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware - make sure
you update both after downloading before running them. (They are both free)
When you're done make sure you run the Immunize function in Spybot advanced
mode.

Hi MTO and Forte Agent,

I did a bit of searching on "virus", "trojan" and "worm" in combination
with "random file name" and in all categories quite a number of these
critters that would match showed up, also one came up with the
description "dialer" attached to it.

Having said that, it seems to me that executing a system wide scan with
an up-to-date AV-product (I mentioned only a few in my first reply)
would be the first thing to do, to make sure that something of a
virus/trojan/backdoor is lurking on the system. After that I would
advise FA to run BOTH AA and SS&D. For immunizing I would advise both
SD&D's immunize option AND SpywareBlaster (Which is advised to be the
better one of the two, even by Patrick).

Regards
Dick

In general I have found Google to be pretty efficient at hunting up a
specific exe or dll name - which is what I meant when I said that Google had
no clue. I agree that this is either a random name virus/trojan/etc. or
something new that just hasn't been posted about anywhere yet.
