hi,

i havent seen a W2K log in a while. this is a windows process: smss.exe
but seems to be running out of a strange location.

which process is asking for a network connection? i dont see a resident anitvirus in your log?

you can do one of 2 things or all

a online scan:


ESET online scanner:

http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/

uses Internet Explorer only
check "YES" to accept terms
click start button
allow the ActiveX component to install
click the start button. the Scanner will update.
check both "Remove found threats" and "Scan unwanted applications"
click scan
when done you can find the scan log at:C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
please copy/paste that log in next reply.
———————————————————
upload the files in question to be checked out:
here:
http://www.virustotal.com/
———————————————————–
let me know what you do. post the online scan log and a new hjt log.
