this is a dangerous backdoor trojan. i managed to delete it by doing this. First of all the reason you can't delete it is because it is already in use. get into your task manager (ctrl+alt+del) then click on ntsrv.exe and to disable it and then go to c:\windows\system\driver and delete it maually

Yes it landed on my computer and I managed with BitDefender 9 to Quarantine it, and although I have not yet deleted it will use Knoppix to delete it from Quarantine.

I found it at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DRIVER folder, it is run as a service. Maybe it's a FTP server program of a Trojen program. folder is hidden.

The same name of a system file, but in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\DRIVER folder is suspicious. Cannot end it or remove it - ID as BDS/Iroffer.14b2 with Antivir
