779059 2009-06-02 09:07:00 Does anybody know what the process hik.exe is? Every so often it fails and Windows XP shuts it down with no noticeable effect.

I have googled it but cannot find anything about it. It is located in the C:\Documents and Settings\(admin) directory

The system:

Intel Core 2 Duo
Abit IP35 mobo
2 GB Corsair DDR2
Albatron 8800GTX
Windows XP Pro
NOD32 antivirus default settings
Windows Firewall *on*

We'll be able to see from the HJT log the location of this file, which may bring cluesto what it is

Are you certain this is a process.?

Do you get an error message? If so then what?

The "process" closes with no other effect?

What service packs are installed?

I would suggest that you run HJT and post the resultant log here.

779063 2009-06-03 02:43:00 If you have a hik.txt file in the folder, then according to this site (mwblog.org),(hit ctrl-F key then type hik to jump down to the article) it is generated from a virus called Plut. Maybe visit and check their procedure for resolving, including checking the associated registry keys... kahawai chaser (3545)
