mprexe
From the alert notice of the Firewall, a program named
mprexe.exe frequently wants to go out to DNS in the background. Through searching, it is found in all the computers in the same workgroup. Searching it in the microsoft.com database, the result tells that mprexe is relating with password issue and is part of the window. But, the search in symantec tells that it is a virus. What is it? |

mprexe
What does you AV application say about the file on _your_ system? Where is
the file located? Whilst Win Me contains and uses a file mprexe.exe this file is located in the windows\system folder whereas the Backdoor.Niklaus trojan, which uses a file of the same name, places the file in the windows folder.
