Trojan Horse infecting winserv.exe

I have a trojan horse (whatever that is) on my computer. I'm running XP and tried to use Norton 5.0 to remove it or quarantine it but it failed to do so. Next I downloaded Moosoft The Cleaner but that didn't do anything. I ran an update for both anti virus programs so they are up to date. The winserv.exe file will not remove from the Windows folder either. There was a total of 3 Trojan Horse virus and it failed to fix all of the but it did quarantine 2 of them. So now ther is that oneleft. What do I do? Thanks

Ahhh...I think you should just leave it as if you delete this entry ..winserv.exe you most certainly will have problems. I doubt that there is trojan attached to this. If say, I deleted this from my XP I wouldn't be typing this to you!! lol! But if you really want to delete this, go to START, RUN, type in REGEDIT, once there press CTRL and F and type in winserve.exe. This will automatically find this key. Do what you want with it but be sure to make a back up!! There was a good reason you could not delete winserv.exe because it is a vital componant. It sounds like somebody or something was playing tricks with you!!
