Hi folks.

Don't seriously expect to get too much help with this one, but if you don't
ask...

A friend of mine says "my computer keeps comming up with wintsk32.exe error
message and it won't close down propperly". I *believe* the PC is 2000 Pro
or XP, but I'm not sure.

Anyone know what this is? Or is it just a super-generic message that could
mean anything? (Basically the whole PC is a bit confused, and does random
things... Perhaps it just needs a dam good sort out! lol)

Thanks.
 
Neither one is a windows file. Search google for both of those file names,
both are related to a virus.

Feel better? :-)

"The worm copies itself to the Windows system folder as WINTSK32.EXE and
EXELDR32.EXE and adds the following registry entries to run itself on system
restart: "
