After a slight viral infection i have this, sys.exe, popping up in my
firewall asking permission to connect to the internet. The virus was healed
and two other .exe files were removed, but this remains. When watching the
virus scan, all other references to windows are in capital letters and this
one in small. Would love to delete this, but unsure. Had IRC/Backdoor and
another..the name escapes me at the moment. Also, can not get a tool bar to
work since this happened. Checked the IE6 setting, all ok there. Thanks
