robby? anyone heard of a program/virus

[sunlit5]

A few minutes ago a small icon appeared in my taskbar. I tried to click it off and it wouldn't go. I couldn't get properties on it or anything. It did however have the name of robby if you hovered over it.

I ran a file search and came up with a acf file in temp folder.

After a few minutes this 'robby' went away. I do not think I did anything to make it disappear.

Does anyone know anything about this? Is it harmful? Do you know what happened?

Thank you so very much,
Sun

Don't know who "robby" is but it would be a good idea to post your Hijack This log to see what's going on. I see from previous posts that you know how to do this.

I did as you requested. I also did a Googled Robby + taskbar and I got a lot of responses that it may be a Windows agent/helper sort of thing. But I have never turned it on nor was I aware that I had them. So I am not sure.

oh I also have a side question- do you know how to delete the green check marked items in Spybot?

Thanks again,

I see only two things.

Close all browser windows and have Hijack This fix these.

Reboot and delete the Kernel.dll located in...

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Kernel.dll

Just in case it is the HTML.Redlof.A run a online scan at one or more of the online scanners below.
