I got interested about this thing. Google does not give any useful
info about binary file called that. My contacts did not know anything
about this. And some of those people hack stuff like this daily and
they usually know things like this. I would like to have copy of that
file and hack it to pieces with debugger. This sounds _very_ bad.

To the orginal poster of this question I would say that find where
that file came from? I don't know about Microsoft systems that much,
but they should have some logfiles? Read them. Ask your ISP for
logfiles? You should be able to see where it came from.

And if that machine or your local network where it has access has
something important, take that server off-line right now. Don't keep
it on-line before you solve this thing. This might be serious security
leak, you are better to be safe than sorry...
