i have found this file ~.exe 52kb in size, it's contensts look like this but more could be hidden

MZ

i have tried searching google with "~.exe" but nothing

when i tried to delete it remotley from another pc all it's antiviral software kicked off and went nuts but i could not delete...?

i shutdown this computer with this ~.exe file on it and booted it into linux. i also have webmin installed so mounted the windows partition and tried to delete it using the 'file manager' but kept saying this is a read only system (not true)

tried to chmod 777 ~.exe but same message

started samba and accessed the partition that way but still could not delete

so any ideas what it is and how to delete it (esp if a nasty)
