I recently discovered a file on my PC from Foundrystone.com called "Fscan" However, it was renamed "services.exe" so when you check PROCESSES under task manager you'd confuse it with Windows' own services.exe Anyway, this program was actually sending out information from my PC. I have a network monitor and it reads the info being sent out as around 24K to 16Kbits

I finally found a way to kill this sucker : renaming it and rebooting then deleting.

My question to you guys,
How does this program get installed? Was it hidden in a script?

What the hell does this program do anyway? I checked Foundrystone's site and Fscan is supposed to be a scanning device. Was it installed on my system via trojan then it is activated to ping other systems while reporting back to whoever sent it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
