svcinit.exe,redir32.exe,are parts of trojans/virus, not sure what winolda386.mod is.
XXXVIDEO.COM is similar to

you need to run antivirus/anti-trojan
programs to clean your pc.

ive found out svcinit.exe (C:\Windows\System\svcinit.exe)is a keylogger and i have removed it from start up and XXXVIDEO.COM (C:\Windows\Temp\XXXVIDEO.COM) is porn related so i have removed it.
winolda386.mod doesnt seem to be running anymore.
redir32.exe is running but its properties say its a Microsoft file created 1999? When i did a search on google it came up with trojan references.
can i leae this file alone or rename it?

Hi redir32.exe seems to be a valid Win program if it is in C:\windows\system . Have it on a new installed os thats not been on the net.
