I have Trend micro in my machine. But if the file size is 172,099 bytes probably it is a malware. It stays in the memory an replicates itselft with same size, and directes to IE to some Adware sites

it remakes it self as an EXE in the %system%\temp folder. This makes it look more like spyware

my observations, in every reboot PC, this file(ofcdog.exe) copied itself randomly by default to windows\Temp folder as different names; for example, CL7A35.EXE, RP4F50.EXE, SB10B7.EXE, OX97E2.EXE...etc.. And then, this renamed file has been executing. you can also see this file in Task Manager... very interest, is it?

I've seen it in action. it always starts with a different name slowing down the PC. I highly recommend to kill this process before Copying CDs or DVDs. Checking it existence from time to time because it restarts after a while.

It creates a copy of its self in memory that is named BFG56.exe or something similar. If you kill the process, it comes back as another file similar to bgf65.exe. This is malware like, and I don't like it.
