What the heck is winsrvc.exe?!?! And why does the computer look for it?HELP!!

[manualman]

My Friends computer is going nuts, it is looking for us to locate this Winsrvc.exe thing everytime we try to open a program and I am not sure what to do. Windows can load fine, but the instant you try to open anything it does this and displays the options of OK-Cancel-Locate. Can anyone HELP!!!!

it's the navidad virus. go to www.antivirus.com and check out the troj_navidad.a virus, it should be on the hotlist.

good luck with it, it's pretty easy to tame. just run their fix (dl it on a machine not infected) and then run their online scanner to delete the infected files.
