hi all, this might be a difficult one i know. i have just used spybot to check my startup entries and everything looks 'normal' apart from the above. does anybody think it is a normal entry or otherwise. sometimes spybot cannot provide info on an entry as is the case here so i am at a loss. i can disable the entry by unchecking the entry but am reluctant to. thanks

Someone appears to have had the same 'z1524.exe asycf74' entry and got rid of it.0 -
sorry to be pedantic but his entry says z1316.exe, but it probably is the same. would it best if i disable it or just delete the entry? i am getting a bit worried now. thanks for all your help thus far.i have to admit it does look a dodgy entry.

If you see this before running through the sticky, upload the file for analysis and post the results:
