What is RAIDHOST.EXE?
A while ago I got a alert telling me that RAIDHOST.EXE was trying to access the internet (wich I didn't allow) after a friend plugged in his flash drive. Since then i've noticed it runs at start-up and is in the registry. A bunch of websites indicate that it's a trojan but you can't believe everything you read.... so i'm hoping that someone here can give me an answer before I delete it (in case that would be a mistake). 1 person needs an answerI do too

Yes, your friend infected your computer with his flash drive. Now you need to clean up your computer. Go through these general malware removal steps systematically - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using Multi_AV in Vista. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT POST LOGS IN THE MS FORUMS. If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
