[Alex]

this isnt right... and its in use so i cant delete

is this some kinda known spyware or trojan or something or am i just paro?

That's legit.

3D Pinball comes with NT Based systems like XP. I have it also and I can't delete it either

Hmm...that's pinball, normally. 😛 Not sure why you can't use it though.

Umm, it's a trojan most likely. pinball.exe is a known name for a trojan.

Think about it, why would it be running unless you were playing the game?

Are you running XP? Can you delete it?

if you cannot delete it, try to see if you can set the permissions on it.

Bah brain fart. In XP it's normal but I'm running 2000 and for 2000 and older NT's it's a hack.

eh? I had 3d pinball in Win2k.

its an empty folder that is in use all the time so it cant be deleted...

Definitely comes with both XP and 2K, not NT.

Kill explorer.exe and open a command line prompt. Then delete it from there and restart explorer.

Yes, there is a pinball game that comes with XP and 2k. But, does it reside in that folder with that name? I doubt it, but can't check right now.

For some reason I thought it was automatically installed with NT4. If not it's on the CD anyway so you can install it.

It is in that folder with that name.

Yep... it's a known trojan in every default Win2k/WinXP install. Damn those M$ bastards!! :| 😉 😛 😀

What I meant was it doesn't run all the time in Win2k. It came with 2k/Xp, you could get it with the plus! pack for NT4. The NT4 and 2k version doesn't run all the time, the XP version does.
