yesterday i was browsing the internet and when i was exited from my mozilla firefox i saw a strange icon on my desktop. tih is a comand prompt program but i cannot open it. it is called WinXP_2K_7184. i cannot delete it cos it says that is used by another person or program. i tried to remove all the processes from the task manager but it didnt work. is someone knows what is it and how to remove it .

Well I sound rude but...OWNED.

Nwo to get that outta the way.

It probably is a Virus, hurry and get some Virus protection before it eats your CPU to death. :)

Try to use System Mechanic 4, and use the Incinerate tool.

Hope it works! (Y)

Your PC is someone else's bitch.

Use a firewall and an antivirus proram on your PC for Pete's sake, whoever Pete is..

I don't know, this one sounds a bit more serious. Might want to just sell the computer instead.
