Boot problem in Windows 2000 (svchost)

[vwad]

Hello Digit Team

Writing after long time

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

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
