I'm using Zonealarm and the application "winkow.exe" tries to access the internet. The file is located in the windows/system folder. Anyone know what it is or does? I've searched through Google with no success.:confused:

Sounds like you've picked up a Trojan.

Try running the Cleaner:

And see if it pick anything up.

Can it be?

It's a Klez Virus. Get Klez Cleaner from www.pspl.com The file is named as clrav.exe
