Most likely spyware. We had a similar problem with look2me spyware causing similar problems. If you can check you network traffic to see if they are communicating with 69.20.20.161 autonomously, then that is most likely your culprit. Here are several removal links if it is: http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner/library/look2me/index.phtml Indicating that the UnInstaller for the Look2Me application can be found at: http://www.look2me.com/cgi-bin/UnInstaller http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/spyware.look2me. html http://www.pchell.com/support/look2me.shtml After this, you should probably run spyware removal tools as well. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Discussion Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Mark Wilson Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2004 11:57 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Windows rebooting problem. We have had a problem with XP (and maybe 2000) systems rebooting. We use McAfee and all "infected" systems come up clean when scanned in safe mode/no network. Most times the system crashes either prior to the Windows Logon Screen or just seconds after someone logs in. The dreaded "Blue Screen of Death" appears with the following error: STOP Fatal systems error Windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly. Status 0xc0000005 There is some mention that perhaps only networked systems experienced this problem. Seems to boot up and run in Safe Mode/No Network. Any ideas/suggestions? I will do my best to answer any questions about this as I am getting this info piecemeal.
