Hello,
Looking for a little information on these 2 Spyware/Grayware. Over the past days i`ve formatted atleast 6 times and this always comes back, from what very little information i can find people seem to think its a keylogger but seems as if they are not sure.

First off these are 100% clean formats, no old files at all, and ive only installed afew programs which are all from trusted company`s. Yet Trend-micro always seems to find TSPY_AGENT.TQ/TSPY_CIMUZ lurking in my system after awhile. By that i mean right after i format and do ALL MY UPDATES my system scan`s 100% clean. Then i installed all my programs and did a other scan which came up clean, afterwards i installed a game of mine "World of warcraft" from a trusted company then i turned my pc off awhile, came back did a scan and there it was again. No one seems to really know what these files are from what i`ve researched from search engines. Formatted time and time again and they always seem to return.

Trend-Micro shows no file path so i dont know where the so called files are located and it`s the ONLY virus scanner to pick it up. I have Spyblaster installed & enabled, every update for WinXP Pro. Basicly im trying to narrow down exactly what this is, Trend-Micro offers to clean it but it cannot clean the TSPY_AGENT.TQ file yet even so afterwards if i rescan it is gone completly, still leaves me a little cautious about my system if infact it is a keylogger. So basicly im looking to see if anyone knows forsure what this file is, im starting to think its something involved with my game world of warcraft because it seems to appear right after i install it. Im still at a loss as i said formatted over and over and always returns.

If anyone has any information on what this file exactly is or what its related to would be a big help its starting to drive me nuts formatting over and over. Bitdefender ,Panda & Ewido all scan clean Trend-Micro is the only one to pick it up. Just looking to find out exactly what this file is and if i should be alarmed.

Thanks in advance - Eyz

Hi, I registered on this forum because I was doing a google search for the exact same thing that Trend Micro found on my PC. There aren't many good answers out there on google so if anybody here as any idea you'd apparently be helping out 2 people plus any others that come across this in (the first page of) their google searching.
Well I'd like to add that with mine it claims that it DID clean it. - maybe they updated something in the definitions over the last week or so to fix that.
