Comment:

I have just visited a client who reported that their WinXP system kept rebooting itself after a few minutes of use.
After booting successfully in SAFE MODE I found the following two processes in startup (using the Microsoft Autostart tool):

pcvyxudi.exe
omrruvmx.sys

Removing both of these from the start up and then running a complete scan with Norton cleared the problem.

I can't find any reference to these two files anywhere so thought I'd mention them here in cae anyone else hits the same problem.

Thanks for the post. Not a week goes by that I don't some strange file names like that, especially in Hijack This logs.

Yes, randomly generated filenames are quite hard to search on.

Thanks for the post. They will be added to the entropy of the internet.
