Are These Virus's??

[jublee]

Hi everyone,

I just went round to have a look at someone's pc because they said it was running slow, i ran housecall online and it found the following:

c:\windows\system32\wiz98.exe
c:\dns.exe
c:\windows\system32\nxctxm.exe
c:\windows\system32\msnmesg.exe

It couldn't delete them as they were all running, i ran hijack this and they weren't in the list.

Regarding msnmesg.exe, go to:

dns.exe is the DNS server process. For more info, go to:

I wasn't able to find anything about the other files. You should update your anti-virus and anti-spyware on a regular basis. If these files are related to malware, anti-malware programs will soon be able to remove them.

Good luck!
