What IS pds.exe? Its located in c:\Windows\System32\cba directory, and every now and then, Norton Personal Firewall says that something is trying to access it. is this OK or should I block it or what?

What OS are you running? I'm running Windows XP PRO SP1 and dont have a C:\Windows\............\cba folder.

It could be it was installed with another program as a web update feature or it could be spy/adware.

Try getting hold of Adaware and/or Pest Patrol- if its malicious they will be able to tell you

@ Flanderz :

he he... you should know what it is, as you most likely have installed it :D

Check port number 3456, and see if it's open for UDP traffic.
If it is, it looks like you are running Norton AV Corp.
