Hi people, On startup I get an update window with the following message: * /run: unable to open 'svchost32.exe' (line 2, iiscache.dll) >>> RSIRC Webserver enabled and listening on port. I think I remember having this problem before but not how it was solved. I've run Ad-aware and have just run HijackThis so here's my log: Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7 Scan saved at 18:27:12, on 07/01/2004 Platform: Windows 2000 SP4 (WinNT 5.00.2195) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) Running processes: C:\WINNT\System32\smss.exe C:\WINNT\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINNT\system32\services.exe C:\WINNT\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINNT\System32\CTSVCCDA.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\EPSON\EBAPI\SAgent2.exe C:\WINNT\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\System32\nvsvc32.exe C:\WINNT\system32\regsvc.exe C:\WINNT\system32\MSTask.exe C:\WINNT\system32\stisvc.exe C:\WINNT\System32\WBEM\WinMgmt.exe C:\WINNT\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINNT\Explorer.exe C:\WINNT\anvshell.exe C:\WINNT\System32\nchknmt.exe C:\winnt\system32\systrey.exe C:\Program Files\Creative\ShareDLL\CtNotify.exe C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\Loader.exe C:\WINNT\system32\internat.exe C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.exe C:\Program Files\Creative\ShareDLL\MediaDet.exe C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\YPager.exe C:\WINNT\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\Program Files\KaZaA Lite\kazaa.exe C:\unzipped\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.google.co.uk/ R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = 62.252.64.4:8080 O2 - BHO: (no name) - {000006B1-19B5-414A-849F-2A3C64AE6939} - C:\WINNT\bi.dll O2 - BHO: (no name) - {06849E9F-C8D7-4D59-B87D-784B7D6BE0B3} - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.ocx (disabled by BHODemon) O2 - BHO: Clear Search - {947E6D5A-4B9F-4CF4-91B3-562CA8D03313} - C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\IE_ClrSch.DLL O3 - Toolbar: @msdxmLC.dll,-1@1033,&Radio - {8E718888-423F-11D2-876E-00A0C9082467} - C:\WINNT\System32\msdxm.ocx O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Synchronization Manager] mobsync.exe /logon O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.exe NvQTwk,NvCplDaemon initialize O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [anvshell] anvshell.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LoadQM] loadqm.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Network Tools Monitor] C:\WINNT\System32\.\nchknmt.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [updateWins] c:\winnt\system32\systrey.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSKCES32] C:\WINNT\system32\spool\drivers\si1\shell32.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NeroCheck] C:\WINNT\system32\NeroCheck.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [EPSON Stylus C62 Series] C:\WINNT\System32\spool\DRIVERS\W32X86\3\E_S10IC2.exe /P23 "EPSON Stylus C62 Series" /O5 "LPT1:" /M "Stylus C62" O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [RDLL] RunDll16.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [explorer] c:\winnt\system\expl32.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [lsass] c:\winnt\system\expl32.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Disc Detector] C:\Program Files\Creative\ShareDLL\CtNotify.exe O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ClrSchLoader] C:\Program Files\ClearSearch\Loader.exe O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Network Tools Monitor] C:\WINNT\System32\.\nchknmt.exe O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [RDLL] RunDll16.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [internat.exe] internat.exe O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msnmsgr] "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\MsnMsgr.exe" /background O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.exe O9 - Extra button: Yahoo!
