    What kinda system do you have...sometimes unknown exe's are needed to run certain hardware that Dell or HP made. More likely is that it's some form of spyware that uses a random name...I would end it, download SpyBot 1.3, update it, and then scan your computer.

    The only thing listed on Google regarding that exe is a reference to the Klez H worm..so perhaps an online virus scan is a good idea

    re. ryb.exe

    With my thanks to InTheWayBoy & geoscomp for your replies.

    Yes!, I called buddy this A.M. and NO he does not have a spyware/adware/malware scanner installed.
    I forgot to mention it was on a friends system I noticed ryb.exe when I was helping him setup a multilink modem config on the weekend.


    again, my thanks
