As a means of preventing detection some spyware and virus programs generate random names for their working parts.

The detection programs get around this by various means like checking he size of the file and looking at the contents.

If you are certain of the spelling but can find no reference to it in a google search it is likely (but not always certainly)a bad file.

I have found out I have some errors in my registry and was trying to sort them out. When I ran a scan on my registry it said theer was a problem with the following file: RECLOHM.exe. I was wondering whether this was spyware or not. Can anyone help me with this. If it is I can just delete the file. Also has anyone heard of qsnw.exe? I tried to find out from google whether this was spyware but nothing came up. Finally I was wondering how to get into My documents and program files in the registry as I have a lot of invalid registry paths in these two areas.
