You have the W32.Friendgreet.worm worm virus (not quite a virus read on). This background task is installed by electronic greetings cards which users send to each other for fun unaware of its worm-like activities. At the time of writing, November 2002, there is a debate as to whether this should really be classified as a virus given that on receipt and opening of the electronic greeting cards, users are warned, by way of a License Agreement screen, of the fact that answering Yes will mean that they consent to the software installing itself on their PC and e-mailing persons in their Microsoft Outlook Contacts list with an e-mail inviting them to download FriendGreetings or related products. The problem is, very very few users actually read License Agreements, so most users end up clicking Yes and installing something on their PC which they probably would never have entertained having ! It is for this reason, and because of pressure from corporate customers, that antivirus software manufacturers such as Symantec are now treating WINSRVC as a virus.
Recommendation :
The above notwithstanding, every PC that we have ourselves dealt with and which had WINSRVC in its Task List, had problems, some of them extremely severe. Make no mistake, in our experience this is a nightmarish background task; so, virus or not a virus, you should remove WINSRVC from your system. Removing WINSRVC is not simple this Symantec page shows you how to do it if you have Norton AntiVirus.
