I found a program called bindfile.exe installed (recently) in the
winnt/system32 directory of one our NT 4.0 servers. It was also
running on startup. I can find no documentation (indeed a google
seach turns up virtually nothing) and I suspect that someone here
downloaded something they weren't supposed to and was just unable to
get rid of it. However, this is just a guess. I did delete it from
the drive and the registry even though I couldn't determine what, if
anything, it was doing. There is a bindfile.dll that is part of NT
which seemed to make the choice of name suspicious.

Does anyone have any ideas? Could it be malicious? Any info would be
appreciated.

Thanks.
