Odd file on my machine
So, I have this file that's running, called rrlx.exe . I haven't found a SINGLE THING on a Google search.
It's listed in my Windows/System32 folder. Can anyone verify for me that this is part of your XP experience? I had a couple of odd files lately (eets.exe, rrlx.exe, and one other)...and the eets.exe was screwing up my machine a bit. The rrlx.exe appears to be a part of it, although I'm not quite sure. -John |

Have you scan it to see if it is a virus?

There are a couple of spyware programs that create randomly generated computer filenames to prevent detection. This sounds like one of those files. Better SpyBot that bitch.

I have run a virus on it, and have AdAwared it. I will SpyBot though, just to make sure.

Make SURE you have the latest version of SpyBot. I had 1.2 and it kept saying that I had all the updates and I was clean.
Got 1.3 and there were 3,000 more things to check. I ended up with it finding 88 more spyware programs on my machine. |

What Blackadar says is very true. You may also try to use HijackThis to see if there are any weird entrie concernies browser helpers and stuff like that. I had on hijacker a couple weeks ago that kept pushing me popup ads that were going through the google bar popup blocker. Turned out I found an entry I didn't recognize with hijackthis, fixed it and the problem is now gone... FM

And just to confirm, my install of XP does not contain this file.

Tried that. The new wrap and seal from Glad is MUCH better, though.
