| Suspicious processes keep coming back
It's on our family PC, running XP Pro.
I run Spybot, Adaware every week or so, always kept up to date.
AVG is always running and up to date.
For some reason though I keep having xyurcfo.exe and farmmest.exe processes come back. I've scanned, and found nothing. If I end task on them they appear again right away.
Booted into safe mode, and managed to remove the files. They also had msconfig start entries, which I disabled.
However, on reboot they just came back again.
Is there anything I can do besides a format? Or should I even worry about this?  |

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. |

farmmext is in Spybots database, so it should remove it if you have Spybot updated and working properly.
