I found this while dissinfecting numerous sasser varients(and others) on a friends computer.It says it is
'Microsoft Windows Secure Server'
I've searched my own registry and it does not occur in mine.
Any idea what it is?
Tt Lanfire
nf7-s v2.0
XP-m 2500@210x11
SP 97
512mb pc3200
Jou Jye 550w psu
FX5600
WDCaviar 60gb
Seagate Barracuda 80gb;~}

Did not know about the translation button.
Bitdefender recognised it as a sdbot backdoor.Housecall and pandasoftware did not.

Yeh i have it too...i rebooted my computer (to get rid of all the spyware) and it came up straight away, and im really desperate to get it away.
I think it causes the internet connection to stop and slow down...it definatley does something to Internet Explorer, because when i connected through LAN on the laptop (internets on this computer then through to laptop) it works perfectly fine.
So when i deleted the "rpcxWindows.exe" out of the "Task Manager" the internet came back.
Its definatley something bad, but i cant find anything on it.
Aparently its part of the Windows Secure Server. I googled it and it didnt come up with any links from Microsoft.
So its DEFINATLEY something. i dont think none of the ANIT-VIRUS companies know about it.

Its related to RBOT, Forbot, and SDBOT, probably infects the same way using the known LSASS vulnerabilities.
Most likely there are a dozen other files running at startup that are part of the infection.
LOOK IN YOUR REGISTRY AT: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Look for any Microsoft Sounding Names in the Value, the files will be located in your windows\system32 directory - you will need to do some searching, since in the registry the files will be listed without directory path.
If the name looks legitimate but is 1 or 2 letters off, like scvhost.exe (rather than svchost, its a good bet its a worm.
