Wasn't thinking virus cause my virus scanner says all
is okay still.

Thanks,

Good evening Neil,

...It's a windows thing...not a Trojan (bad name for it though, it seems
like one on first look).  I believe it's for 16-bit programs (emulation
on a 32-bit platform).

Do a google on "wowexec.exe" (with the quotes) for more info.

Cheers,
Adam
