this executable was running and trying to access the Internet yesterday. my firewall blocked the process when it tried to access the Internet and my system became unstable after that. I ended the process and my notepad program shortcut on the start menu points to some other location. I searched on several search engines and the knowledge base of microsoft.com, but there was no mention of this file. I ran a virus scan using McAfee but the file wasn't deemed malicious. could someone tell me what this file is? what does it do? is it some possible virus/trojan/etc.? I'm using Windows XP SP1, with IE6 and standard settings. I'm using an admin account with full previllege, but not "Administrator".
