I know about this program. It's safe and deals with distributed computations (www.distributed.net RC5 project) but it was installed on your PC by trojan written by one of the RC5 project participants to icrease his own rating position.

hogs 100% of system, can be deleted with End Process in Task Manager, but it's back when you reboot. Searching for it, even with system & hidden files in view, shows nothing!?
Lee Zakian

It takes up a lot of memory

Vicious Virus - Can be seen if TaskMgr is launched - It uses about 100% of CPU resources, therefore some of your programs will stop responding and/or PC will slow down. Solution: Boot into SAFE MODE - Go to C:\Windows\System32\ then look for iosdt folder (Show Hidden Files and Folders option MUST BE enable) - Delete the whole thing and empty your recycle bin - Do a search for iosdt files and if you do find anything just delete the file(s). Thats All!!

It's called iosdt.exe and is run at windows startup. Will not be found with regular anti-spyware programs. Spyware doctor might find it, but only if the file is running. If u open the taskmanager and see that ur CPU is running at 92.100% then u got iosdt.exe infection.
