"icqerror.exe"

anyone know what that is, not sure how long it's been there
or what it does !?

not sure.

But im gunna live update and run my norton now to see if I have it.

Is it new? Do you run your anti virus weekly and it just came up today?

... must be pretty damn new, I couldn´t find anything about it ... more likely norton plays tricks on you ...

knowing norton it's probably not a virus.
ITs probably a vital component for ICQ to work and it just got quarentined so your icq program like many other programs wont work with norton.

i've run Norton often and it never found anything called
"icqerror.exe" before i'm still using the same icq so i doubt
that's the case..but who knows!

... there is no vital ICQ component called icqerror.exe, at least not that I´d know of. it could be a virus though, but I couldn´t find any related info on the web.

... Webmasterbaby, there is a quick way to find out .... har har !!
