back it up to a floppy and delete it. if somethign goes wrong stick it back there, but I'm pretty sure its just a troublesome file.

Thanks tony, but there is no real conclusive answer in there... someone said its part of a map pack for CS... I dont' have CS.

All of those are just guesses.

I've scanned with my AVG, and housecall from trend micro, and the panda online virus scan.. nothing.

Ran adaware, spybot, regsupreme, everything

I deleted it, rebooted, it seems to be gone, but I'm still wondering what it is.

There's also mention of ipTunneling, possibly related to a game.

I've seen three things, it could have been, its been called a sex dialer, part of a search toolbar, or part of a games expansion pack, either way its crap, I read all the english and german sites they all said the same thing

It's actually installed by AntiCrash (and I only know that as I've just installed it (and now uninstalled it) myself and WinPatrol alerted me to it)
