Zone Alarm Win XP

[R. Olthoff]

Due to my newly installed ADSL connection, I installed
Zone Alarm with very high security settings. Once my PC
started (and connection is automatically established) I
always get the question: "Do you want to
let "vyhbupfj.exe" run as a server?" (or something like
that). When I look up the file in the Windows System32
folder and go to properties, there is no info available,
although such info is there on real MS Windows files.

Is this file "vyhbupfj.exe" a virus/trojan or can I safely
say "YES"?

No, you don't want to let that run as a server. That is certainly not a
Windows file, and I would suggest running a full virus scan.

Thank you for your comment Matt.

It is appreciated, and I am now thinking to rename the
file temporarily, to see if I get problems (if not, I
probably delete it). With config.exe I will delete it from
starting-up and I will go through the registry again.

(Full up-to-date virus scan I already did many times but
nothing found)

Thanks
Roland

Sounds like a plan and just keep an eye on it to make sure it isn't in
control

Try a spyware scanner such as Ad-Aware. Also try a different virus scanner
to get a second opinion, for example the free online one at
