Hey all! I just needed to format my computer because of a file corruption, but hopefully ill be able to fix everything today. My problem is when i installed Norton Internet Security, it said that the following files were trying to access the internet: I figured it's better to be safe than sorry and blocked them for now, but if anyone can let me know if they are safe, or give me a site to find out myself, I'd be very thankful...

The suspicious files are:
14477_up.exe
lwkcbczr.exe

    When you delete them, you may get startup error messages, as the files may be runnin gin your startup. You should download Hijack This from the security downloads link in my signature, run a scan, and then post a log in our other security forum, S/V/T.

    Thanks for the input, I deleted them and they went away fine. They never appeared to cause any trouble, however they were a part of the Sasser Virus.
    Ive fixed that now, thanks.
