Hi,

The file name is YNC9F9.EXE but if you delete the file it changes every time,
the only thing that is the same is the icon and the extension .EXE, the icon
is a dog, and I have try TrendMicro OfficeScan, Symantec and Mcafee with the
lastest definitions and it doesn't find anything. Susyem clean, no virus.

Regards
