Default Re: 2 Microsoft files Detected as spyware. [119kb]

Normally my system is clean. Somehow (SAV was not clear as to which varient)
HTML/IE Crash got into the MSN Desktop Search Cache and SAV 9.01 with
12/28/04 Defs. (Latest def's when it found it earlier this week) got right
through the AV Real-time scanner. I have not seen any outbound requests on
XP2 Firewall. (Have ISA 2000 for inbound on SBS 2003). This could by why I
got infected.

I just renewed SAV, looks like I may have to re-evaluate whats out there
next year.

I think chktrust.exe and extract.exe aren't windows files cuz I don't have
them in my windows system32 dir

chktrust.exe is part of the .NET Framework tools:

It looks like extract.exe (in this case) is actually spyware:
