1) Download the following four items...
McAfee Stinger
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/
Trend Sysclean Package
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp
Latest Trend Pattern File.
http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp
Adaware SE (free personal version v1.05)
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")
Download Sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt281.zip
Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
sysclean.com.
2) Update Adaware with the latest definitions.
3) If you are using WinME or WinXP, disable System Restore
http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode
5) Using Trend Sysclean, Stinger and Adaware, perform a Full Scan of your
platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
(a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using the three
utilities; Trend Sysclean, Stinger and Adaware
7) If you are using WinME or WinXP, Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any
System Restore preferences, (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) If you are using WinME or WinXP, create a new Restore point

| I have a windows 2000 server that restarted last night for an update. When
| it came up the CPU was pinned at 100% running a process called cycle.exe. I
| couldn't kill the process. Found out it was attached to a service called
| "evenstop". Restarted in safe mode, changed "evenstop" service to manual and
| everything is fine. Did a virus check and everything was fine(also this
| server gets no internet traffic, it's behind a firewall).
| I know that cycle.exe has to do with wins, Also no errors in the event log.
| I also have a service running called "eventask" as well that is suspious.
| Both these processes are using srvany.exe as their executable, one executes
| cycle.exe and one executes svchost.exe(when you look them up in the registry).
| Does anybody know if these are legitamite processes?evenstop & eventask
| What is cycle.exe?
| Any help would be very appreciated, I haven't been able to find any info on
| this stuff.
