Srvpwlog.exe???

Gentlemen,

Last Monday, I noticed a filein my System32 folder which I hadn't seen before. It's titled SRVPWLOG.EXE.

I ran a scan opn it, but it came up clen. I couldn't find any info on the net on it, either. So I bravely/foolishly tried to delete it, only to find out it was running. I went into my Task manager and stopped it, but it still wouldn't allow me to delete it.

So, I downloaded Spybot and tried the File Shredder. That *kind of* workeS, but it replaced the file with two nonsense-name files before my very eyes.

In short, I've tried Killbox (ewhich wouldn't delete it), Spybot, and CA's Internet Security Plus, none of which have been able to tell me what it is, how it got there, what it does, or how to get rid of it. I found its entry in my registry and took it out, but nothing different there, either.

My internet is running very slowly, as is my machine in general, I believe. My memory usage seems rather high, too. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Can any of you tell me what this might be? Below is my info from HijackThis:

Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.2
Scan saved at 10:23:19 PM, on 8/11/2008
Platform: Windows 2000 SP4 (WinNT 5.00.2195)
MSIE: Unable to get Internet Explorer version!


Edit by chaslang: Inline HJT log removed. READ & RUN ME sticky not followed.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Severian

 

PS - There's also a fishy-looking .dll file hanging around with it, called WINWPSRV.DLL...

Yikes!

Sorry to have posted HijackThis log! I could barely get Firefox to load the page last night, so I didn't see the sticky about HT logs. Since I'm at the office now, I read it to my dismay this morning. I'd edit the log out, but I can't seem to find the function to edit my posts...

Sorry!
