Hi
Will
This is what "David Lipman" Replied

It is associatiated with a Agobot variant.

1) Download
the following three items...

McAfee Stinger

http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

Trend Sysclean Package

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

Latest Trend signature files.

http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

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;
lpt383.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place
the contents in the same directory as
SYSCLEAN.COM.

2)
Disable System Restore

http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
3) Reboot your PC into Safe
Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
4) Using
both the Trend Sysclean utility and Stinger, perform a Full Scan
of your
platform and clean/delete any infectors found
5)
Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your
platform using both.
6) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply
any System Restore preferences,
(e.g. HD space to use
suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
7) Reboot your PC.
8) Create a new
Restore point

while starting them up. An "unexpected error..."

seems to be related with "msr.exe". Is this a virus or worm

infection?
