File exefileinformation.exe received on 2010.06.20 11:33:27 (UTC) Result: 20/41 (48.79%) Nice score from virustotal. Even useless panda flags it as a possible trojan. It scored even higher than the autorun virus that put all the local town's PCs down. "I'ĺl just reinstall windows, I do it all the time"(BB) []'s
