okay i just installed windows 2000 a week ago and was hit with the blaster worm... i removed it with the utility and patched up my system with all the updates from microft. now everytime i boot my computer i see ms-update.exe in my task list and ms-updater.exe in my system32 folder. well i kill the task and delete it but it comes back when i reboot. and it also shares my c drive when i reboot also. i have looked everywhere but i cant find any help. and yes i have scanned my computer with an antivirus and it does the same thing.

hey how you doing ok do this go into control panel>>administative tools>>services find updater right click on it go to properties and disable it then then right click on it again and click on stop should solve that problem.

hey i think my problem is getting worse :( i couldnt find ms updater in the services list. i think my svchost and msmgmnt.exe is corrupted because when i end the task my internet becomes significanly faster but the process keeps coming back shortly after killing the task. also i did delete the svchost and winmgmt.exe but they keep coming back. heres the list of processes...

ok not sure what u should do but stop deleting files for one.the ones you keep trying to delete wondows needs those.ok try a system repair.i hope u have the emergency repair disk or the win 2000 cd.if you have the cd set bios to boot from cd first put cd in and let it run then do a system repair see if that works.i see alot of people using that hijack program seems to be giving them alot of grief ,could that program be corrupted with a trojan or something personally i never used it. but try a repair on the windows system see if that corrects stuff.
