winklml

[Zvi]

Anybody know anything on how to get rid of winklml.exe
process. The process just starts on its own and takes the
entire CPU capacity. Killing it from the task manager does
not help as it will restart in a short while.

You have either the Klez or Yaha viruses.

Your computer is infected with some variant of the Klez virus. You can download a cleaner tool here, http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html. I'm guessing you do not have an up-to-date Antivirus program or it would be warning you about this. You might want to get the free (for personal use) AVG program from http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php.

You have two problems:

1. Your computer is infected with the Klez virus. Go to
http://housecall.trendmicro.com and do the free online virus scan to
clean up your computer.

2. You either have no antivirus software running or whatever you do
have is so sadly out of date as to be worse than useless. All
antivirus programs have protected against Klez for well over a year
now. You *must* have an antivirus program in today's computing
environment and it *must* be kept up to date. The virus definition
files should never be more than 10 days old and rarely should get more
than a week old.

If you need a good antivirus program try the free version of AVG from
www.grisoft.com

Good luck
