 WSASRV? A WinSock Component or Something bad?

Hey...

Need a little assistance from someone! Please! Pretty Please?

My work computer (windows 98se) occasionally shows that it is running "WSASRV" - and I am not sure what to make of this.We don't have an IT department or any real policies (don't get me started on this), so I am looking into the issue on my own.

WSASRV doesn't run all the time, a google search relates to a possible trojan, both Panda and Housecall scans show nothing, and a search on Microsoft shows something about a Win95 Winsock component called WSASRV.exe. Given that I am not running Win95, what am I really looking at?

Anyone care to take a guess?

Thanks!

Edit: Could you post a HJT log as you already scanned for malware. Maybe when you know the process is running so we can see its location?
