SAIE.EXE might possibly be a trojan downloader or, more likely, you've got yourself infected with one.

A few months ago a virus called Downloader.trojan was doing the rounds but NAV can now detect and remove it.

To remove SAIE, I just did a search for SAIE in the System Registry and removed any reference to it - then I searched my C: drive for " SAIE*.* " and zapped anything I found.

However, I had to open MSCONFIG first and deselect it on the Startup options, then reboot.

After I'd successfully removed it, I did a System Restore back to a suitable date, just to be on the safe side.
