    Hi

    I have a Windows NT4.0 machine (Pentium 200 Mhz) machine that I use as an internet gateway. I have noticed the dirote.exe entry in the processes on the task manager. I use AVG free anti-virus scan. It shows the file in the scan log, but says that infection is "ok ". I searched on Google for dirote and it said that the file is associated with a trojan horse. Do I need to do something about it and if so, how do I get rid of it?

    Thank you
    Cobus
