This afternoon a program called "Saie.exe" installed itself into the "Startup" section of my System Configuration Utility (MSCONFIG.EXE). I'm currently running Windows XP Home Edition.

I hadn't dowloaded it so I was pretty sure it was a worm or trojan of some description, so I disabled it from starting and then ran some scans using Norton Antivirus and AdAware (neither of which detected it).

I then tried several methods of removing it (i.e. the obvious things like System Restore and Add/Remove Programs) - and I also looked under Performance & Maintenance but still couldn't find any way of taking it out of my startup options. Eventually, I just removed it manually, along with its registry entries etc., which seems to have done the trick.

I then did a search on Google for "SAIE.EXE" but it didn't come up with anything. I'm just curious to know what this program was. Does anybody know?
