| I have recently loaded a computer on a network and updated it to sp2.
|
| A new task item appears called windexv1.exe.
|
| There are several registry entries and the file is supposed to be in the
| windows\system32 folder.
|
| I can't find any info on the net about this file nor is it signed.
|
| Any help here on what it is?

| P.S. I spent $245 on a call to MS but couldn't communicate with the non-US
| person on the other end of the phone and was disconnected with no
| resolution.
Please submit "windexv1.exe" to Virus Total --
http://www.virustotal.com/flash/index_en.html
The submission will then be tested against several different AV vendor's scanners.
Another way to submit is to send the suspect file to the following email address
scan<at>virustotal.com
{ replace <at> with @ } with only the word SCAN as the subject.
Please post back the EXACT results.
