hi all, I found wuxat.exe last night on my computer. I did a google, not much there apart from a few German-french forums, one said it was possibly a back door worm. Anyway, I stopped it running in task manager, then I deleted it using hijack this,then I tried to delete it from the registry. It makes this registry entry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

I ran AVG, spybot and adaware and they didn't find it. Anyway, it's gone now and the registry entry is clean too. Does anyone know what this was?

cheers khaz
 
From what i can find out its linked to a trojan called:

Worm.P2P.SpyBot.gen

and avg doesnt detect it.

Try running see iof that pics it up.

I would recommend deleting the file and registry entries for it.
