"paul2.exe" in msconfig... where did it come from?

[Wayward Clam]

Was going through my msconfig to get rid of excess junk and found a program listed as "paul2.exe"... it is a 32kb file in the Windows/system folder, and nobody here could tell what it was or where it had come from. Scanned it with an updated Panda Antivirus, nothing came up. We have ZoneAlarm on the machine and nothing seems to be seriously odd about it... crossed fingers and ran it from the Run command, witnessed nothing. Nothing unusual showing up in Task Manager. Anyone heard of this? Where it came from, what it might be? Have disabled it for now, haven't noticed anything unusual... but very curious all the same. WTF????

P.S. Shows up in Startup tab as "System Tag" -???

it's not listed with sarc either. maybe excess from some other junk program.

Have you downloaded or installed a program called wincam 2000??
It is like a multimedia program?

I have Paul2.exe in my startup but I use the trial version of Wincam 2000. If you have Wincam leave it alone, if you don't you probably installed some shareware that used the Wincam engine.
