    Hey There!
    Well reader_s.exe has been onto my nerves for a quite long time, but doesn't matter i got rid of it already... But services.exe is not a virus... I have a legit windows xp with sp3. I could see the file services.exe running in the task manager since the first boot and didn't encounter any problem...! I guess you need to format and clean install Windows XP. If you format only the first drive where windows is installed, it won't make any sense as that virus reader_s.exe come back from the first boot itself...! Install Windows XP from scratch... The best option...! All the best...!

    My computer is also affected by both of the malwares. Even I delete reader_s.exe from system folder it keeps appearing after reboot.
    When i boot up my computer and open the task manager then there are lots of (15 may be) services.exes . Moreover i see 5 or more cmd.exe more svchost.exe and even some *.tmp processes.


    Can they be deleted after I deleted all of their values in the registry.
    please help.
