Hi there everybody. The above captioned process uses more
than 80-90% of my CPU capacity. I am using win xp
professional (2003). This file lies in the sys32 folder of
windows. I can end this process without affecting my
window's functionality. But the process is back there,
when i restart my computer. Can someone please provide me
with a more permanent cure. Plus, I feel that this problem
also has something to do with the blaster virus. The both
entered my computer at the same time. I will be thankful
if someone would help. Bye.

You are infected with the worm "WORM_AGOBOT.WR". Do you have CURRENT virus
software running? If not, run out and buy some and keep it current forever.
Also, you should scan your system for spyware. You can download a free
spyware program, Ad-Aware at www.lavsoftusa.com.

You can see details on this worm at

Good Luck

Most likely you have a variant of the agobot worm.

Also, there are several variants of this worm. You should let your
antivirus software that you buy determine which variant you have so that you
know exactly how to remove and repair the damage. Antivirus software is
most cases only quarantines the infected files, but does not repair the
damage done. After you detemine exactly which variant you have, look up the
technical details like those found on the link I sent you, and then repair
the damage. Be sure and look up the virus details on the support website of
your particular antivirus program. Different virus software companies often
times give their own unique name to a particular virus or variant of the
virus. One company may call it XYZ while another company calls it ABC when
they are both the same virus.
