Starting MozillaAgent, _ex - 68.exe, program is legitimate?

I recently had 2 pieces of malware found by my antivirus. I noticed this program running that I didn't recognize. The location is C:\Windows\Temp\_ex-68.exe. He says he's "MozillaAgent". This file is legitimate? The name of the company on the executable file is X-Ways Software Technology AG and the Version says 64.54.225.241.
I don't remember doing something with Firefox yesterday (when this program says that it has been installed). In fact, I don't think I used Firefox as browser yesterday, since I use IE as often do not.

Any info on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

No, this file is not a legitimate program from Mozilla.

Looks like your computer can still be infected by some kind of virus / Malware.

I suggest the following resources:

My Firefox problem a result of Malware is an article from the Mozilla Support with some good advice to avoid and fight against malware.

To verify that your system is clean, perform the following steps (no official Mozilla tips, just good practices of personal experience)

Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full scan. http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

Download and launch TDSSKiller http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363

Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials (no not official approval, but I personally recommend MSE as a great permanent anti-virus)

Check all Windows updates.

If you still have problems with Malware after that, I would recommend either http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/, or have your computer cleaned by a professional.

    There were known issues with this particular GPU from ATI/AMD.  Surprisingly, the card works fine with an old motherboard Asus, I have in a previous version. Given that the system has an activated copy of Win 7 Ult on it, I still have in service and access it through my main machine via the desktop remotely (product activation and DRM took some of the fun of upgrading material - I see it as an evil necessary.) Companies have the right to intellectual property, but it becomes more expensive to upgrade if you need to buy a new license every time you change on your motherboard). The guys at Asus even suggest to use an older driver for the card on my main machine. I submit all my screenshots and a dersription of the problem to technical support at AMD. If all goes well, they'll find a fix fo as they did for the TLB bug Phenom processors original back in early 2008.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

    I found some people who kept him at work and others who could not. I tried with Windows Firewall turned off and will be on and firewall rules created. Others said it is not supported and that I should use a third-party FTP client. I could make it work in Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer. I am well aware of the situation these options in Internet Explorer.

    Here are the best real, I could run from the command line on my PC Windows 7 (32 bit), but not on Server 2008 64 bit.

    Now, before someone comes and asks me to check the firewall, I want to mention that I tried more than five clients of third-party FTP Server 2008 and they all worked perfectly. In addition, from the same Server 2008 it worked fine in IE and explore.

    Whenever my computer starts it gets to the 'microsoft corporation' green loading bar then displays this message 'sasnative32 program not found - skipping autocheck. She disappears and start the computer as usual. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am running windows vista business 32-bit

    I found that the... entry sasnative is implemented by Lunarsoft software (I wonder if they are related to Lavasoft).

    If you had a few Lunasoft stuff installed and uninstalled lately, it sounds like it is not cleaned up after himself.  It's the same thing that happens with software Lavasoft - lack of hygiene.

    You must eddt your registry database and change this:

    autocheck autochk *.
    AutoCheck sasnative32bddel.exe

    At the entrance of XP by default, which is the following:

    autocheck autochk *.

    Just position the cursor and delete the entry so it's back to the normal and reboot.
