    SysTray.EXCN2 - TROJAN

    Systray.excn2 is a registry entry created by the Troj/Cozdoor-C Trojan. This Trojan can also generate random dll files, can modify your browser settings, and can modify your windows HOSTS file. More information can be found at a href=" http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/trojcozdoorc.html.


    We'd recommend removing this file using WinPatrol. We'd also recommend removing any .dll files that seem to be made up of a random collection of letters or letters and numbers for which there is no copyright or company information. Kill these files under Active Tasks then remove them from your IE Helpers. If running WinPatrol 8.x or later, right click each file then select "Delete file on Reboot". Finally, reboot your system.
