I leave my PC on all the time and no one else has access to my PC, the other
day I was out of my office for 5 hours and a program called mailwasher was
running to catch all the email spam and it was listed in my system tray.
When I returned it was no longer running and I couldnt restart it again so I
went to the program files and looked for the exe file that loads the program
but it was no longer there and I have no clue why not. Can anyone tell me
how an exe file could disappear on its own?
 
Jim

An explanation might be that it has been deleted by an anti-virus or
anti-spyware programme, which has incorrectly identified the file as
malware. Check security logs etc. Another explanation could be malware
activity.

Hope this helps.
