    Anyone have any idea what winpdp_fsg.1050.exe is? It's kept in my windows temp file and keeps popping up through zonealarm. Never noticed it before and if I try to end the task the computer locks up.

    Thanks:eek:

    It could well be the spyware "Trickler" described here:

    I would suggest you install and run Ad-Aware to detect this and any other spyware which probably came with it.

    Be sure to read the FAQ and Getting Started pages. Reboot after running and scan again.
