Information about msdtc.exe file

"msdtc.exe" belongs to Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator. The Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator is a transaction manager which permits client applications to include several different sources of data in one transaction and which then coordinates committing the distributed transaction across all the servers that are enlisted in the transaction. MSDTC runs on all Windows platforms and is installed by applications which need to use it, such as the Microsoft"s Personal Web Server, or Microsoft SQL Server.

BurningDog wenn ein programm mit vb 6.0 fertig kompiliert ist, dann versucht das programm auf port 2150 als server zu agieren. ist mir schleierhaft, warum er das tut, vielleicht hat es was mit einem integrierten versionierungs-"teil" zu tun, das aber dann undokumentiert wäre. sollte das programm an anderen punkten auftauchen, halte ich spyware unter gleichem namen möglich. die korrekte app-version ist (bei mir für vb6sp6) 2001.12.4414.42, alles was nicht diese version trägt ist suspekt, alles was nicht den port 2150 benutzt äusserst suspekt. vb6 stört sich übrigens nicht daran, wenn man ms dtc aussperrt. ein vb-entwickler Appeared when compiling with VB6 Smeghead my norton antivirus 2005 detected it and it is recognised as some kind of internet worm.
