rate5 It tries to access the internet and it has "log" in its name   Ryan
rate5 Erm - ITS A LOGGER. Just look at the filename. Downloaded it in a ZIP file by accident. Delete!!   MidnightTommo
rate5 Virus - service should be winlogon under system32 not winlog.   Nina
rate0 came from some zip file in p2p, immediately tried to dial out and may be responsible for registry mods, it looks malignant and annoying, even tho it's called winlog. all I know. Norton is oblivious to it i think  
rate5 Its sending crap over port 8080 to 70.168.71.214 cant open ctr alt del   Jonathan
rate4 pretty sure it was a virus i got from p2p. remove from startup by run - msconfig   ewan
rate0 My computer will no longer boot to windows and gives an error message that winlog.exe cannot be loaded   Legion211
rate3 It is also just a simple caller ID logging program. If you didn't install this, it is probably dangerous.  See also: Link   Kevin
rate5 It seems to have downloaded Relevent Knowledge.. :(   Mr Man
rate4 I think it's a trojan and my internet spazzes so im pretty sure this is what is's doing DELETE NOW (NOD32 says that it's a Win32/Trojan.InjectorQ or something BUT IT"S BAD)   Jamman
rate5 You can not get rid of it off USB's   Aussies_son
rate2 Slams my router with outbound traffic, which caused the router (Linksys) to randomly drop connections from other PCs. Found, and deleted the process.   KevinH
rate4 it's a trojan downloader and you need to delete it by Ctrl + Alt + Delete processes end task then when you delete it, it will not come back   Logan A.
rate5 Without a doubt its a virus, specifically a logger, I found mine in a temp folder - no process should ever be running from your temp or roaming folders   Sean
rate5 Win32/PSW.Fignotok.E   ☺☻Back/ ; \Door☻☺.Graybird[ViP]
rate5 Bad virus keylogger if im not mistaken   cmptr
rate0  
rate4 Automatically copies itself onto your flashdrive from local user directory AppData along with an autorun.ini. When you click to open your flashdrive from My Computer, it copies the winlog.exe file to your computer. Just delete from startup (run=msconfig) and do a search and delete all instance of the file   iStar19
rate5 This process name is used as the default name for many RATs. Be warned, its a virus.   Door_Theif
rate4 it's a log spoofer. will alter your log files to make seem size appropriate even though you might have just had some srpize trojans uploaded, some files exfiltrated.   crypninja
rate5 where i know that it is a type of virus and any type of virus is virus so it is dangerious.  See also: Link   chandra prakash
