i got it from some antivirus software that i got through the newsgroups.
"eTrust ezAntivirus" is the name of the anytivirus software. the exec files
seems to have come with it. i tried deleting the file but it just keeps
comming back.

Its probably part of the AV program (which is also Beta) there to
protect against the Exec.exe trojan. E Mail ezAntivirus Support and
see what they say.

Niether have I but the google link flags it up as such. Had issues
with MSAS Beta1 last year flagging up a trojan which was actually a
false positive caused by Trojan Hunter & Spybot S&D signature files.
If you say you got this file along with ezAV then its got to be part
of ezAV. I can't check my Vista right now I am waiting for the latest
version to DL, I had ezAV in the last version but I did not notice
Exec.exe anywhere.

The authors of trojans prefer that you don't hear about them.

i only noticed it because the uap in vista keep asking if i wanted to allow
it to run every 1 to 2 seconds whether i said yes or no it being able to run
or not. i had to disable uap to get rid of the dialog.

Steve that looks suspicious, if its a signature file it should not
wish to run. I never had this on my last Vista install with ez AV
installed. See if you can send the file to ezAV to confirm what it is?
Could just be a bug or something legit but maybe it is malicious.

i ran the antivirus software and it was not detected by it.
