unknown file
Has anyone any information on hwldr.ex*? I have done a forum search as well as the MSKB and google. File was in Windows\System (win98 SE).
Showed up one day after the son was using the system. I first noticed it in the task manager as a running process. Since removed but I cannot find any information, nor can I figure what it did.
Thanks.
