hi every one i am a new member to this form.
I have a file called a.exe in my system dir.It always starts when the system starts.
I noticed it in the task manager.And found the name strange.So i immeadiately deleted tht file.
Does anybody know about it or is it any custom build trojan by some one.

It's a leftover from some ABetterInternet program. It'll mark itself as Systray in the O4 entries of a HJT log.

It may also be IRC-Worm.Win32.Rodal.a. It's a fairly recently discovered worm.
