LE6B96.exe

What is this it showed up in task manager? Can't find it anywhere when doing a search. Could this harm my computer?

It all depends.

Where is it located? Do the file properties (right click, select properties) give any indication of it's origins? Company name, date of creation, etc?

You can scan the file at either VirusTotal or Jotti File Scan to see if it's a known bad guy.

If you can't find any solid information, you may want to have a set of logs reviewed by our Analysts in the HijackThis Log Help forum. To do so, follow the steps in this thread:

I can start the process in 30 minutes.-

I am running Spybot and Trend Micro from this workstation with all updates. Should I still run the programs you suggested?

Are you sure you have the filename 100% correct?

tetonbob · 10-17-2007, 02:40 PM

I would start with my first two suggestions. Check file location via Windows Search (making certain you have the file name correct), properties, and then if it's still not recognized, scan at one of the two sites I recommended.

I found the file, it's a Trend Micro

**tosh9i** · 10-17-2007, 03:41 PM

Do you mean Trend Micro "PC-Cillin" or some other software by Trend Micro.

I've used PC-Cillin for the past several years, and I've never seen that file you're talking about. I did a quick search on my hard drive for it, and found nothing.
