| According to the F-Prot anti virus program my XP-Pro computer has the
| virus:
| W32/agent ICY (exact)
| in the file:
| Windows\System32\nvsvc32.exe (159,812 bytes)
| That file is from my NVIDIA FX 5500 display card. In the registry is
| the notation: "Provides system and desktop level support to the NVIDIA
| display driver."
| The F-Prot program can't clean the file and quarantine fails.
| The Windows XP-Pro registry has three references to that file.
| HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NVSvc\
| I am wondering if I should delete the infected file. Would the display
| card continue to function?
| If not, how can I replace the file with a clean one? Or is there a
| better way?
| Advice will be appreciated,
| Stan Hilliard
Who said this was a virus ? It isn't it is a trojan.
Stop the service NVSvc and then remove %windir%\system32\nvsvc32.exe
