@sms1.champai | autoload.exe
I scanned my computer with Ewido and found C:\WINDOWS\autoload.exe as Not-A-Virus.Tool.Autoloader. What is the use of this file? Should I delete it? Why is it labeled as not a virus yet flagged as a security risk? |

| Thanks for the reply. I have uploaded the file and here are the results.
virustotal.com:
TheHacker says it's an Aplicacion/Riskware.Tool.AutoLoader
VBA32 says it's Trojan.Autododer
The rest say no virus found.
virusscan.jotti.org:
Kaspersky Anti-Virus says Found not-a-virus:Tool.Win32.Autoloader
VBA32 says Found Trojan.Autododer
The rest found nothing.
Should I remove it? Right now I have it quarantined. |

| Why do ewido and kaspersky say it's not a virus? maybe it's a legitimate program? i googled and read in some place that it's used to launch html files from cd or something.
well, i never ran it, i dont know how it got there.. i thought it came with windows. i have windows xp pro sp2 with all the updates. |

| What the mean is that it doesn't fit their definition of a virus.. But it does fit their definition of either "riskware" (KAV's word) or Trojan (VBA32's word)..
I'd remove it.. I doubt seriously it's anything good.. (I don't have it and I have windows XP pro SP 2..)
