Replacement File

I have an infected file "srvrmgr.exe" which normally resides in C:\Windows.

Can anyone tell me where I might find a replacement as I have no idea which program it came from.

Thank you

Philip

I am not sure why you want this file. It appears to be malware.

In your other discussion Flash was mentioned. If Flash doesn't work for you now, (you didn't say), why can't you goto Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel, uninstall Flash, and then goto Adobe to re-install it?

If the error message you get at startup is about this file, open up your System Configuration Editor, (Start > Run type in msconfig and click OK), and remove the startup for it under the Startup tab.

Wrong assumption.

That file doesn't belong in the Windows folder. It's malware. Be glad it's gone!

I don't have such a file, so it isn't part of Windows. It might be part of an application I don't have (but I do have flash, so it isn't flash). You'll notice that because that application won't run anymore with an essential file missing. Then reinstall that application.

In fact, what's your problem?

If you happen to be receiving an error message indicating that it's missing, you'll need to remove the registry entry that's "calling" the file.. Of course, the registry entry is not needed either. There should be instructions in the link I provided above.

Hope this helps.

a general assumption

This might be someone everyone already knows, but with all the "click to show content" and stuff windows do, it might now be.
One shouldn't assume that everything in C:\Windows is good. Lots of viruses target that area because it contains critical information. When you use an antivirus an it deletes a pile of files from C:\Windows (or asks if you want to delete it, but I highly recommend not using that function), check them out at

or look it up on yahoo for info about it before worrying about replacing it.
