Boot problem in Windows 2000 (svchost)

[vwad]

Hello Digit Team

Writing after long time :p

I am facing a problem while booting my home PC.

I am able to boot it normally but afterwards, a window pops up on my desktop which I have to close each time.

This is being happening only recently ( 10-15 days )

No function is disturbed on PC and I am able to do all the things well and nicely but its kinda wierd to see this window and having to close it every time :mad:

Please suggest me a way to get read of it.

Here is the window screenshot to give you an idea

Sorry for the Misstake...

HijackThis is a tool which will scan your system and will produce a log for analysis, just download from that link I have given, its a modest 250KB zip or EXE file, unzip and run with option Do a System Scan and Save a log file,

The log file is a simple TXT file, just copypest the content here at the forum... let us take a look at it.. :)

looks like uv been infected with the mail worm turta.a

the legit svchost occurs only in the system folder. any other location, inclu the startup folder cud mean a posbl malware infection. sugest u go 2 ur startup folder, rt click on the file n c its (or its targets) props.

run ur av and as in safe mode. download and use 'ccleaner' to clear up residual pc junk. reboot. and the as sgstd above u can post ur hjt logfile here or get it auto-analysed at www.hijackthis.de
