Every time windows starts, a process called winser.exe starts. I have found that winser.exe is in C:\WINDOWS When I erase it, the next time I restart the computer it just "regenerates".

The process doesn't appear in the startup programs.
I have scanned with Norton Anti-Virus 2005 and it doesn't detects anything. I have also used Lavasoft Ad-aware SE without results. Spy-boy detected an DSO Exploit, it says it has fixed it, but if I make another scan with Spy-Bot it appears again

No I don't
Norton Internet Security has bloqued this program several times, it has been trying to connect to www.pkrm.de

I used system restore and backed up my system 1 week before this started and the problem has been solved. Winser.exe doesn't appear anymore.

Thanks anyway
