It its totally dangerous and cannot be quarantined, nuked, healed, vaulted, removed, killed or deleted! It took control of several functions of my operating system of my new Acer-Vista 64 computer and seems to slowly be spreading its fingers of doom throughout my new computer. It waltzed right through the Windows Defender, Avira and Mozilla firewalls and all security guards. It truly sucks!!!

If a.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Documents and Settings" then it is very bad, it will cause pop ups to occure regardless of wether you have a pop-up blocker or not. remove it from the registry using regedit or you could use "hackthis" if you dont know your way around the registry
