Re: Microsoft Update Loader msrtwd.exe

google came back with a forum to do with sdbot; however, the file was
listed as "Morphine".

I saw a copy of one of the recent worms which had generated a very
large number of exe's which all had previously uncaptured names.

If it's not being picked up by your virus scanner, send it to their
team, get another and run a scan over the computer from a known clean
source, such as a BartPE bootdisk or a remote uncompromised box.

Hello all:

Recently discovered a trojan(? - possibly a virus) called msrtwd.exe.
It's listed in the Registry as "Microsoft Update Loader"

Does anyone know anything about this?   Google doesnt offer much.

Thanks
