my office computers are being overwhelmed by a process

called ntsystm.exe. it appears in the list of processes in

the task manager, and when it's present 100% CPU

processing is consumed and performance of all else on the

computer is glacial/unresponsive. i kill the process and i

delete a file named ntsystm.exe in the winnt\system32

folder, but the file, and the process, spontaneously

return both before (!) and after reboots. i've searched

the web, sophos, trendmicro, microsoft, norton, mcafee,

etc. and no one has so much as one page with ntsystm.exe

included on it. anyone ever bump into this devil????

Please go to one or more of the below online scanners and perform a scan of your platform

then report back your results.

my pc are being overwhelmed by this process too.

I try to kill it by a lot of software,but I can not kill it.

So I think I must kill it by myself.

Today I succeed



First when you star windows,you can see a message box,this message can tell you about like this "dll..........,XXX.tmp is........",then you find this "XXX.tmp" files and delete it.(or you delete all type "tmp" files in you system)



Second kill the "ntsystm.exe" in taskmanager,and delete the files "ntsystm.exe" in c:\winnt\system32\(win2000 or winxp)or c:\windows\system(win98)

Restar you system

I'm having a similar problem. I'm getting something that says it's going to shut down my computer. I've tried the different scans, but it keeps coming back. It won't let me run Norton AntiVirus, or the Microsoft patch. Any ideas? Thanks.
