Files called yndbar.dll, yndhelper.exe, yupdate-executor.exe, and praetorian.exe install with the Yandex Search Toolbar. Yandex is an adware-based Russian language search tool. You'll find more inforamtion at http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?md5=65658236044a822dd7425c3c6dd8a703 and at http://www.prevx.com/filenames/X32148547098313970-X1/YNDBAR.DLL.html. Unless your fluent in Russian and intentionally installed this toolbar, we'd recommend removing these files using WinPatrol. First, kill them under Active Tasks. Then remove them from your Startup Programs and IE Helpers. If running WinPatrol 8.x or later; right click the file then select "Delete file on Reboot". Finally, reboot your system and make sure the file is really gone.
