Default What is xivnir.exe?

You can safely delete ALL files listed in the Prefetch directory except the
ini file.
The files will repopulate when programs are used except for ones pertaining
to apps you may have deleted. Also, take heed to Malke's comment about
a clean machine to remove this malware. An excellent program is CCleaner.

I also stopped Xivnir.exe service.
When booted, all came back alive.

I also found that Xivnir.exe is under System32 (ca. 1.4 MB).
When seached Xivnir via StartSearch. it detected as XIVNIR.EXE-1584503D.pf
under WindowsPrefetch.

I wonder I could deleted the file under Prefetch.

Roman,






I have a hunch that it must be malware.
I scanned with AVG 7.5 (this is my antivirus program) and Lavasoft
Ad-aware. They did not see them either.

Go to: StartRuntype MSCONFIG and press Enter
Click the Startup tab and see if xivnir.exe is listed.
If it is, uncheck/disable itclick Apply and Close. Reboot.
Now see if you get an error message or if all is OK.

Google could not find xivnir.exe.
Does anybody whether this is a virus or not.
