WINKRIP & WINKUVT

[soundguy]

Hello,

Does anybody know what program WINKRIP & WINKUVT are associated with. They run as services with Windows XP, and take up 80% of the processor at all times.

I am boggled, never heared of these at all.

Thanks In advance
Phil

Klez maybe?

I am having a very similar problem with "WINKSEJ" and "WINKXVQ". They are constantly using about 75% of my machine. ECHO: What are they and how do I get rid of them?

This still sounds like Klez. The earlier link didn't work right, so check this one

Look at the 'indications of infection' section.

The earlier link should have been this:

[URL unfurl="true"]http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.h@mm.html[/URL]

Copy and paste the URL above into your browser. Note both of these sites have removal tools.

This IS KLEZ. The telltale sign is the first four letters "WINK" . Use the klez removal tool from SARC
