I'm just rushing past sorry.

While you are waiting, search mmc.exe in Google.

Lots of hits, could be genuine, could be a virus.

It seems to be a legitimate file:

mmc.exe

but some viruses will overwrite that file and change it's name:

Mcafee

If your AV isn't up to date you may want to do an online virus scan:

Housecall

Otherwise, running SFC should allow you to restore the file.

Hi Charles, Derek, DAVEINCAPS, hello everyone,

MMC.exe was shipped with WinNT, Win2000, WinXP and Win2003. It is a legitamate file for those operating systems but not for Win98.

There was a redistributable version of Microsoft Management Console, MMC, for Win95, Win98 and WinME that can be downloaded from Microsoft. The file is however is immc.exe and not mmc.exe.

It does sound like your computer is infected with the Nimda.A virus.

I suggest as the others to run the virus scans in the links they provided. Here is a link which contains the removal tool for the virus also.

Best Regards,
Mesich
