internat.exe

[holger black]

Hi,

my friend has a laptop with XP running. He had the
problem, that after about half an hour normal work he had
no virtual memory (in total more than 1 GB) left. I tried
to find out which program used all the memory and found
out that after stopping "internat.exe" there was no more
problem with his memory and after starting this again the
same happened (low on memory). So, after saving the file,
I deleted it, because I thought it might be a virus. I
scanned the file with Norton Anti Virus but there was no
virus found. Now I found out that it is a windows file.

Can anybody tell me, why this happened or did anybody had
similar experiences with this file?

Thanks for your help.

It is not on my XP-HE installation or my XP-HE CD-ROM, I did however find it
on the insallation disc of Win98.
Thus; it may well be a Windows file, but not an XP-HE file.
