WINNT\SYSTEM32\V6.EXE?

I have a Win2000 computer that shows ZoneAlarm popping up showing this file trying to access the internet. We can turn it off, but I would like to remove it. What would be best or better yet, what is this application file exactly? Shows creation date of 1/25/07 and is 807kb in size. Running in processes also. Thanks, MBTbone

Hi mbtone and welcome to the Forums

The file sounds fishy…don't allow it to connect to the internet
