VMinf.exe?

What is VMinf.exe? On 31/5/2004, symantec database
tells that it is a virus. But, I cannot find it again in
the same database, in June. From the Firewall, VMinf.exe
would try to go out to the internet in the background.
Should I allow it?

No.

Vminf.exe is not part of the operating system and as far as I can find this is
not a file used by any other application. Personally I would have deleted it
when I first found it. The reason that it doesn't appear when searching the
Symantec database is possible because it is a commercial parasite rather than
a virus or worm and as such not targeted by Symantec. Not that like viruses,
many parasites use randomly generated games which makes it difficult to score
a hit when looking on the net for files with the same name.
