Have you installed NetZero for your Internet Service Provider (ISP). exec.exe is an application you can consider as a security risk , It will allow you free internet access,This process must be running if you use NetZero for your ISP, otherwise it should be terminated and removed from your system.

Have you installed NetZero

No, i have installed AOL Instant Messenger and since then i am getting a request to launch Exec.exe. I went to Spybot.com and scan my pc but suring scanning nothing detected. So far i have figured out it only runs while using aim. i even try to delete it from temp folder but no success.
