Weird thing in startup
I keep very good track of what's running on my computer, but through my family using it, things sometimes happen:
In msconfig, or the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run is something named DIECOX with the address of C:\WINNT\system32\qossrv\csrss.exe What the hell is it? It's not a virus, is it? |

it looks like a virus to me...
and to symantec apparently http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...lbug.worm.html but that site should tell you how to get rid of it. |

if you don't want to install Norton... go to www.mcafee.com and let them do their free virus scan..
What anti-virus program do you currently have? |

ok... i'll pretend you didnt say that... just kidding!
i don't think i can stress the importance of having a good anti virus program... as you can see here at the PCMech, there's a LOT of threads on just the latest worm thats going around!... do the free Mcafee scan... then head to the closest store and buy a good virus catcher/cleaner... norton and mcafee make solid products... good luck
