I have a Windows XP Pro SP3 PC. In the midnight it detected adware.Gen in the file of C:\windows\system32\Tools\<wbr />Hide.exe, then it is cleaned by deletion.<br />
<br />
I ran a full scan of the PC and it is clean and nothing found anymore.<br />
<br />
I checked my C:\windows\system32\Tools and found that there are some exe files inside, I am curious what are the files for? I can see that the files are from Elitgroup Computer Systems.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
