In the distribution, of the Fafis 2.0 it is not a separate file, it is inside
the code of Fafis.exe. How did it get there ? It doesn't affect any other exe in
my understanding. Only creats two taskgrm.exe and hellmsn.exe which then make
two *.scr files. So  how did it get there ? Still wondering...

Best,

Michael
