Missing C:\WINDOWS\inetdata\services.exe

[watirville]

Every time windows starts i get a message that says Could not find file C:\WINDOWS\inetdata\services.exe. Then windows explorer locks up, but task manager still works. Im kinda new at this, so any help would be great.

Just on my way out for an hour or so, but in the meantime can you do me a favor

Can you Download Hijackthis 1.99
A small utility to help identify if any Hijackers, Malware, Spyware, etc.....Reside on your computer

Important: Create a Permanent folder for Hijackthis
Double Click "MY Computer"
Open your C: drive
Click "File" >>> "New" >>>> "Folder"
A new folder will be created, name it HJT

Now you will have C:\HJT

Download Hijackthis from CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE
Save it to that new folder

Do a SCAN and Save a Log file---Save the log----copy and paste the WHOLE contents of the log  here... Don't try and fix anything yet----It is all important

Let's see how much of this we can clear up

Download this tool Remv3.zip
UNZIP the contents to a Permanent folder

Download DelDomains.inf
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf and save it to desktop

Set Windows To Show Hidden Files and Folders

    * Open My Computer.
    * Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
    * Select the View Tab.
    * Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Show hidden files and folders.
    * Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
    * Uncheck the Hide Extensions for known file types
    * Click Yes to confirm.
    * Click OK.

RESTART your Computer in SAFE MODE

Find and delete these files or folders if they exist
