Weird file activity ,help please

[LouisG]

I have two files that keep trying to access the 'net ,, i've searched for
these files and they don't seem to exist on my computer ,,,

A search of Yahoo and Google turns up nothing on these files and i was
wondering if anyone can shed some light on them or point me to a group to
pose this question to.

The files and location are ,,, c:\program files\mesxvid\repeb12n.exe and c:
\windows\system32\fauidgen.exe

This keeps popping up and when i tell it to block access it keeps coming
back.

Thanks for any help that you can offer.

"cd system del HLMICRO.EXE" (originator->69.50.190.131)

Had the same virus but different name. Once I opened a Browser
window it would try to access the internet every 30 minutes according
to ZoneVisual. Try to delete it from Windows DOS and see what the
reply is, probably will say its busy. You'll have to restart in DOS then
delete it.... I suggest going to http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner
save the virus scan then KILL the little buggers... Its was very
enjoyable
after putting up with the %#$^$$*#(#$^^% for so long....

On the other hand it maybe very essential to the operation of your
computer ~;-}........Notttttttttttt ÐÕÇ Holiday..

Please quote some of the original post when replying. Since this is an
XP newsgroup, I assume the OP has XP. There is no Windows DOS in XP so
that will not help him. Here is the original post for clarity (snipped
a bit):

The answer to the OP is: you have malware on your computer which you
need to clean off. Here are general malware removal steps:

If you don't have a full-featured antivirus installed, start by running
Sysclean (see link above) or Dave Lipman's Multi-AV from:
