Wink Find Missing Piece Of Puzzle
Hey Guys,

Can you find the missing piece to my puzzle, just reinstalled both PC and Server... once again!

And both of them magically got some random file called, "shouldnotseeme" on them without visiting any sites or downloading etc... that file initated a shutdown, but i aborted the shutdown at the command prompt before it actually turned off.

Anyone seen this little one before?

Anyone have any information on it?

Cheers for your help in advance

--Thread moved to Security, Spyware and Viruses section, as more relevant --_____________________________________________

Sounds like Virus/Adware/Spyware to me... Run all the stuff and install latest updates??

Google didnt return anything, apart from some German site... Neither did Symantec.com

Maybe some other people would know? It dosen't sound official whatever it is!!

Talking
"ShouldNotSeeMe" ... is the actual installer process in InstallShield installs ... If that hangs, or is still running, when you try to log off or do a reboot, it will show because that's the app's name.

Well you learn something new everyday!

So maybe you don't have a virus then!
