help with an unknown .exe?

[m0nz]

so i uninstalled my old firewall, and reopened windows firewall
and this popped up.

i googled the .exe and nothing comes up
the icon says its apart of Counterstrike/Counterstrike source
but yet it is considered an unknown publisher
it would be considered by valve/steam if it would be apart of that
can anyone help?

Strongly suggest you post this along with a HiJackThis Log in the Cyber Safety Forum.

You didn't read what I said now did you. HJT logs do not belong here.

Considering the number of threads you have had in CS, I would have thought you would have known this. :happy:

Closing this thread for now so we don't get any unwanted/needed advice. Once you get everything cleaned, PM a mod and we will re-open it.
