Hi

Have you virus-checked your system with latest definitions for your AV
program and also checked for any spyware that may be on your system:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also see the following links:

| For the past few days, whenever i've tried shutting down my Windows XP
program, i keep getting an error message that a file - jdfkhbej.exe is still
running and the pop up asks if i want to cancel the shut down command or
continue with it and lose any unsaved data. I'm worried that this strange
file is a virus or something of that nature. I did a search - there are 2 of
these files, one in the c:/windows/prefetch directory and the other in the
c:/windows/system32 directory. Any ideas what this file is? I would like to
delete it but am afraid that i may delete something that sd be there in the
first place....thanks!!
