Odd File Found in Apps folder

[Gayle]

Found the file blqlxcho.exe sitting in my Applications
Folder (Windows XP).

I have searched everywhere but can't find what it does -
is this a BUG/TROJAN/BACKDOOR file???

I have been having dramas with Word 2000 - Can open a
document and type to my heart's content. But I can't
Save, Open etc (anything under the FILE TAB). I also
can't access the TOOLS TAB.

I have manually removed all TMP files and ~$*.do? files
etc that could relate to corrupt TEMP FILES - still
nothing.

I have scanned my entire harddrive with Panda, McAffee
and Norton - nothing found that is suspicious.

I AM DESPARATE !!!!

Hi,

Despite what Mcafee reports, I'd say you have a trojan. I'd search the
registry on it, see if it turns up in a run key. If you open Task Manager,
does it show as running on the applications or processes tabs? How new are
your AV definition files?

A search of McAfee's known virus files for "blql"does not turn up
anything, nor does a Google search for that file. (I assume that you
`spelled' it correctly.)

Can you look at the Properties of the file, for, if so, it might tell
you what the file is, where it came from, etc.
