Unknown system configuration entry

[Guy]

Help please. What is jyfypwp.exe

I found this entry in my system configuration startup menu.

I use XP Home SP2 with latest updates, Symantec AV et al., and on on
of my machines with multiple user accounts, I find this entry in th
system configuration utility. I do not know how long it has bee
there but the computer is a 3-month old new build. My other syste
does not have it. The only difference in the systems is that th
other has a single user account.

I found no reference to jyfypwp.exe using search engines or symantec'
site.

I have two teenagers, which means my systems are under constan
attack, especially from 180 Solutions

Hi,

It's a randomly named trojan (virus) and needs to be removed. It is likely
blocking Symantec's detection engine, so you need to work around it.

Your computer is infested with malware. Go through these general removal
steps systematically:

It's malware.
