KONTIKI.EXE

[JAMES BROOKS]

Greetings:
I have ZoneAlarm 4.5.5 (free edition) installed on
computer. At reboot, it asks for permission to allow
kontiki.exe to access the internet.
I could find no use for this program (C:\Program
Files\Kontiki\bin), so I tried to delete it.
Deletion failed, and the error message stated that I did
not have permission to delete this file. Norton
Systemsworks 2003 also could not remove it.
I suspect that it may be spyware, but I am not sure.
If you have any information on this, please help. My
operating system is Windows XP.
Regards,
James Brooks

There is a program called spybotz that searchs your
computer for spyware and removes it for you. Search
google for spybotz or spybots.

There is a program called spybotz that searchs your
computer for spyware and removes it for you. Search
google for spybotz or spybots.

Well as the applet's name is 'Spybot' searching for either of your
suggestions would produce no results.

As far as I know, Kontiki is a download manager that
www.gamespot.com uses for files for their subscribers.

So I guess that's what you are


Branwolf out!
