If you don't have Kasperky, then it is a malware and should be removed.

main component of Kaspersky AV/IS
  oiram  

it is just a program designed to slow down the comuter. kaspersky should check it. it is fake!

A trojian with that name was found on my PC, by the name: Win32:Rbot-EUN [Trj]
   

norton keeps bringing it up as a virus notification and does not stop notification - constant popup windows. Quarantined but still a nuisance
   

It was resident in the C:\Windows\system32 directory and seemed to be a dodgy file as windows would not delete it and it did not say where it was from. I did not have Kaspersy loaded but when I did install Kaspersky, yes there was a file with the same name in the program folder, too. It is a different and new file. The previous one I am sure is malicious, but if it lives in Kaspersky it is part of the program.... I still have virus/worm trouble atm and Kaspasky is finding a few resident, but one of them just killed Kaspersky dead. Bugger,

Um òtimo antivirus.

I got this file attacking my regestry files when I downloaded something on the net, I believe it may of been some kind of trojen disguised as avp.exe. I managed to eraise it from my windows directly along with msgr that was doing the same thing. I don't think its essential but if you don't have Kasperky like I don,t I believe it could be dangerous and would advise to remove it immedietly
