471697 2006-07-18 05:19:00 Hello
I have just submited a HJT file to the HJT website to check and it shows up this one as being nasty:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [.nvsvc] C:\WINDOWS\system\smss.exe /w

Can someone tell me if I have to delete it?

Thanks

Be carefull this could be part of windows.

Bring up task manager there Should be one instance of this running.

Have a look thru this site if you are not sure.
