I don'k know if anyone can help out here, But here goes. A friend of mine
has a very strange file on his computer. Everytime he boots up Norton
firewall says that:
C\WINDOWS\System32\jjvpbsou.exe is trying to access the internet. He
has asked me if I can help. Normally I would just search Google for the
answer but Google finds nothing neither does any other search engine I've
tried. Can anybody help. I've checked msconfig to see if it is in startup
but it isn't. HELP!
Many thanks
Dave
 
Best you can try is move it to a different folder and rename it. Then
reboot and see if any messages come up, like failed to load or whatever and
what program it is.. then you'll know, and if nothing happens wait about a
week and if still no programs complain that its not there erase it. If you
can't move, erase, or rename it, boot up in safe mode and try again.

jjvpbsou.exe is not listed in the Norton Database, Yahoo, Google, MSN, or
Microsoft
 
I use an app called Startup.exe to manage my start up programs.

I also use Spybot Search and Destroy's TeaTimer to monitor to these same
locations in real time to stop unauthorized addition to these and other
areas.

I would install several of the Spyware removal tools to see if they flag and
remove it.
