Hi,
Just Noticed a file called GENDEL32.EXE in my C:Drive!!!
Does anyone know what it is?
Or how it got there?
I note it has been there since June 2003!!! (blimey I must be going blind)
I have run and have up-to-date Norton System works/ Internet Security
and also run up-to-date Spysweeper!
And neither of these programs can recognise it as a Virus/ Spyware??
What should I do with it?
I've Googled it but couldn't find much.
Cheers!!
:beerchug:
I dont have that file so its not windows related... (winXp)

Thanks......... but that thread never really got to the point of what it was?
or what should i do with it?
you can try to disable it from the startup list and maybe you can notice any change of a program that was not loaded correctly..
it doesnt seem to be a virus, so its not a big deal if it stays there I think..
Run Spybot S&D and see if it picks it up.Quote:

How hard is it to do a google search?
Check here
Thats the first thing that comes up.
Check it out.
No doubt, Google is your friend.
I did further reading and it seems to be a part of some game apps as well as others web apps too. Not sure if it's truly undesirable or not but probably does qualify as malware.
Saving a copy, removing it, if no negative results, leave as is. If not, put it back.
/i got no more answers.
peace...

QUOTE : I've seen three things, it could have been, its been called a sex dialer, part of a search toolbar, or part of a games expansion pack, either way its crap, I read all the english and german sites they all said the same thing.
