Hi,

I was poking around in the registry of my Windows ME while killing
off a virus. I noticed an executable there called
"\progra~1\YAK425KE\YAK425KE.exe Virus scans don't pick it up as a
virus. A search of the C:\ drive for YAK425* doesn't find anything,
so I guess the entry in the registry is there but there is no file for
it to execute.
Anyone heard of this YAK425KE.EXE thing? I want to delete it from
the registry, but not if it is useful for something.

Thanks.

Chances are high that it is/was non-viral malware.
