wtf is E_FATIBOE.EXE

My hard drive has just been doing something for about 20mins.. not sure if it was the disk defragment program running in the background but afterwards utorrent and msn messenger froze and firefox wouldnt load any new pages. In task manager there's a E_FATIBOE.EXE running with about 2.5mb of memory usage.

I had to press the reset button on my pc case to get the computer to respond as log off/shut down wasnt bringing up any options...

BOE.EXE files is usually Back Orrifice exes. Hackers. Google for it.

cheers. the filename i lsited showed 0 results in google which worried me a bit :s

fairly unusual to turn up no results at all!!

Have you ran spyware and virus scans?

Check msconfig (start > run > msconfig) to see what's starting up.

Yeah I have.. spyware checks, virus scan, online scanner..

Used tuneup utilities 2007 to sort startup out but it's not there. It doesnt start back up after i close it but it's always running after a reboot.

Someone just imformed me that this is related with Epson. Obviously my new photo printer has a stupidly named staus monitor running each time I boot.
