I have this file that I suspect may be malware:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\alrqos.exe
spybot or bps does not pick it up. Does anyone know what this file is? Thx in advance.

Abnormal,

Good one.

It found NetSky and it found eicar.com inside a zip.

Cool.

I needed to end the procees to scan the file, and this is what I found:
alrqos.exe - packed with UPX
alrqos.exe - infected by TrojanDownloader.Win32.Agent.ae
Nothing picked it up, I wonder why. Thanks =)

Norton often misses the minor trojan's, thats why we love our SpyBot and AdAware.
