I ran hijackthis...and winbfy.exe shows up in c:/windows/system32...I dont know what it is, but my computer has been acting..funny and I was attacked by a hacker yesterday. is there a connection or am I just being paranoid? I googled it and there is no mention of it. Please let me know if you know what it.

Thank you

Well then, run Ad-Aware and spybot and see if it finds that. If not, then it's not. It doesn't look like it is.

I have. But I have a hacker protection program that tells me that winbfy has added itself to the auto start registry...multiple times. I am looking for information on it.
