I updated my computer with servive pack 2 (I think) and it gave me an error
message and I fixed it. The error said winsrv was missing. I did as windows
instructed me to do and now things won't show up in my task bar at the bottom
of the screen. I can't uninstal the service pack 2. Windows will not let me
install the k885523 thing to instal before the service pack 2. What should I
do?
 
You should only install KB885523 if T.V. Media is installed or if you are
seeing any of these error messages:
Stop: c0000135
winsrv was not found

[[No prerequisites are required. However, this update is only required if
you do not want to remove T.V. Media from your system.]]

Get rid of T.V. Media!!!! It is bad crap/scum/spyware!!!

Eve,

winsrv.dll is a legitimate XP file, it's the Windows Server DLL.

It should be found on your machine in these two folders >>>
C:\WINDOWS\system32
and
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache

winsrv.exe is not legitimate. Neither is kn0x.exe.

winsrv.exe category: spyware related
Process: LTM2 (more info about LTM2 )
Process LTM2 description:
This process is a part of Litmus - it is a trojan that opens up a backdoor
on the infected computer, allowing an attacker to control the computer over
the Internet Relay Chat.

nothing is letting me scan. The internet will not let a second window come
up. It says there was and error and windows has to close. It also won't let
my 'open in new window'. it won't let me copy anything on the computer it's
self. Nortan will not scan either and that is all I have. I can't download
anything b/c explorer will shut down. I don't know what to do. :(

It did not pick up anything? Do you have any other ideas I can do?
