trojan in logagent

[etex@sgrlnd]

Just completed the installation of Windows XP service pack
2
Before rebooting I received a warning from an installed
package called Trojan Guarder. Indicating that I received
a Trojan called logagent.exe. I did a search on the file
and found the following


This is located as exes in various formats on my c drive
all related to Microsoft -
\windows\System 32
\windows\servicepackfiles.i386
\windows\setup files . \mplay2u.cab
\windows\softwaredownload


What is it ? Is it safe to reboot?

Why not just simply search for the file and view it's properties?

Logagent.exe is a legitimate Microsoft file associated with the Windows
Media Player.

So Ron,

What does logagent.exe do? What is it sending to Microsoft from m
computer, exactly? Be honest.
