tftp files -- blast leftovers?

[Sami Garzon]

Hello

I have a 'tftp.exe' in my 'system32' folder, and 2 files ('TFTP.EX_' and
'TFTPD.EX_') in my 'I386' folder.

I've read in a post here that 'tftp' files are leftover of the 'MSBlast'
virus.
This files seems to be created long before the virus got my computer
(Aug/2002), but were last accessed when the virus came.

Symantec Fix didn't said anything about those files.

QUESTION: Should I delete them?

Thanks;
Sami.

PS> Using WinXP 32b and a DSL connection. Now FireWall is enabled.

Go to Symantec Response, check out the following:

Backdoor.IRC.Cirebot, W32.Blaster.B.Worm,
W32.Blaster.C.Worm

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/

The Backdoor.IRC.Cirebot is in the Encyclopedia. The
blaster has mutated into two variations.

No, the leftovers are labeled "TFTPnnnn". The files you refer to are
legitimate Windows system files.
