Hello there everybody, recently I went to scan my computer using McAfee, but ran into some trouble. When scanning, McAfee reached a file that I could just not scan and I had to skip it every time in order to continue the scan. The file was called $RYRU2OL.exe. I want to make sure this isn't a virus or a corrupt file, and if it is, how can I reach it? It seems to be in my C drive somewhere, but I cannot track it down.
Corrupt file?

re:
Can you please do a full windows search for the particular file and give me the path name which appears?
If you can't find it in the windows search, do the following:
Go to run, type "regedit".
Click "edit --> Find, then enter "$RYRU2OL.exe" then press enter. You should be able to find the file located within the registry that will point it to an application (based on the folder name it appears next to).
If you can post that information when you find it, I'll be able to assist you further.
