___________________

Just block it from connmecting, and delete it
What u should do is go through the list of programs in zonealarm and block every programs access except the 1s u know need to connect. For the 1s u want to connect, put on pass lock for them, then keep engage internet lock on in za all the time (but not stop all internet activity)

Cheers whiskers! According to that article it's a trojan so thank you!

where was the file? also look for a file called firedaemon.exe.

the reason I ask is that it looks like the name partially includes servu, it is very common for people to exploit your system and pop it on there under different names. I would try to find the weakness in your system and stop it.

ah, prolly servu, that is the most common place for it.

they might have got in through a weak nt password, weak sql password or some other vulnerability. nothing too dangerous I would guess.

I would also check your drive space. good places to check are c:\system volume information and c:\recycler .that is if there is a good portion of space missing.

other than that I think ur good.
