External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:

• "Coldlife -icmp" definitely not required. Added by the FLOOD.AV TROJAN! Note - this is not the legitimate SysTray.exe
• "Internat" definitely not required. Added by the ALADINZ.P TROJAN! Note - this is not the legitimate systray.exe process
• "SystemTray" can run at start up. SYSTRAY.EXE - System Tray Services. Provides the Volume Control, PC Card Status, Power Management and other icons that reside in the System Tray (see here). SYSTRAY.EXE may be disabled if none of these services are required. It will launch as and when required if you later enable the icons. If you need these items they're available via Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
• "SystemTray" definitely not required. Added by the ALADINZ.P TROJAN! Note - this is not the valid System Tray (systray.exe) which resides in C:\Windows\System (Win9x/Me), C:\Winnt\System32 (WinNT/2K) or C:\Windows\System32 (WinXP). If you right-click on the real systray.exe the "Properties" reveal it to be a Microsoft file
• "Systray driver" definitely not required. Added by the MUTEBOT TROJAN! Note - this is not the real SystemTray which shares the same filename
