This file can part of virus which my company is still recovering from, be weary check process explorer to see if its running, if so you may have a worm. It is a legit file from microsoft as well, if you are worried you may have an infection delete the file. If you are not experiencing any problems, leave the file

The legit one is ~20K, the trojan is ~35K go to Semantek for removal tools; also I;ve heard conflicting reports about the icon; the most reliable source says the '?' icon is on the legit version.

One version is good another is bad. If you have a a blue icon on the R/H of taskbar right click it and it will explain what it is, on WinXP/Win98 you can run the "msconfig" command (START RUN) and deselect it from starting up automatically. If it still loads after this then it might be the virus. Will make a page on my site for more resources when I get the time.

I always use mozilla everywhere and internat.exe is never started. Symantec says the virus is 80kb and the original is 20kb. This one is 40kb, maybe a variant. I renamed the file, this is the only way to disable its unauthorized startup.

Here's the scoop. I just installed INTERNAT.EXE from the Microsoft download site. INTERNAT.EXE is now in C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM with a dark blue icon and white question mark [?]. Just right click and check the properties. It shows Microsoft Corporation and other valid data. I now have traditional Chinese viewable to my browser. Some previous posts say the [?] icon says virus. Not so.

I think it is a dodgy file and someone is watching what we are doing. I tried to delete the file from Windows/System folder under Windows ME. It deleted and then replicated itself in the same folder with a numvger of deleted files buidling up in the recycle bin. Still trying to find out how to get rid of it permanently.
