Hi I noticed process VMPIRVSE.EXE running on the background and at times taking up a lot of CPU time. Google showed that wmpirvse.exe is a valid windows process, but vmpirvse.exe is not. I downloaded HiJackThis v2.0.2 and ran it, but can't make out anything of the log file. I am unable to locate that file with any tools in my computer, I even downloaded RegRun Reanimator which found something named HVDOWE.EXE. However RegRun Animator says that file is either deleted or protected by rootkit. Here is the log file from HJT: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 9:55:27 AM, on 3/31/2008 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16608) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\Ati2evxx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Acer\eManager\anbmServ.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\guard.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgwdsvc.exe C:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\VPN Client\cvpnd.exe C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANT~1\SYMANT~1\DefWatch.exe C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANT~1\SYMANT~1\Rtvscan.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgam.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgrsx.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgnsx.exe C:\Program Files\Raxco\PerfectDisk\PDAgent.exe C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\Personal Firewall\kpf4ss.exe C:\Program Files\Raxco\PerfectDisk\PDEngine.exe C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\Personal Firewall\kpf4gui.exe C:\Program Files\Sunbelt Software\Personal Firewall\kpf4gui.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPLpr.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PDVDServ.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI Control Panel\atiptaxx.exe C:\acer\epm\epm-dm.exe C:\Program Files\Launch Manager\QtZgAcer.EXE C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_02\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANT~1\SYMANT~1\vptray.exe C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winampa.exe C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia PC Suite 6\LaunchApplication.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgtray.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\MsnMsgr.Exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\PC Connectivity Solution\ServiceLayer.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\usnsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\taskmgr.exe C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe C:\Program Files\mIRC\mirc.exe C:\Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe C:\HJT\HiJackThis_v2.0.2.exe R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = about:blank R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=69157 R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = proxy O2 - BHO: Yahoo!
