I have this process called wfdtez.exe running on my
machine. It tries to hit the internet but I have
ZoneAlarm configured to deny it.

I have scoured the web for info on this process,
including Microsoft's site and Google, but I get no
matches. I am wondering if I have a worm/virus and am
pondering just deleting/disabling it, but I worry about
what might happen if it is, in fact, a necessary
component of windows.

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly
appreciated. Please email me at the address above,
removing the obvious part of course.

Thanks
Mike
 
Mike,

Do a search on you computer for the file name, and find
out where it is running from. It's not a valid Windows
file so if it's sitting in there it's probably spyware /
possibly a worm.

Do you have an Anti-Virus package installed?? If so is it
up-to-date?

If both of those are yes scan the file and see if the
result turn anything up.

The next best thing is to then download something like Ad-
Aware (www.lavasoftuse.com), because more often then not
files with random file names are spyware. Run Adaware
and it should take care of it for you.

Hope this help
