Win Me contains no file with the name "winserv". It is possible that you
might have a parasite such as Adware.Purityscan which uses a file with the
name winserv(x).exe where (x) is replaced by a random letter. For more
details see

If you haven't already done so I would strongly recommend that you check out
your system using your preferred anti virus application with a current updated
set of viral signatures and also download yourself a copy of the free Ad-Aware
6.0 from Lavasoft (
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and also
SpyBot (
http://security.kolla.de/) and scan your system for and remove all
unwanted parasites, adware and spyware that might be hiding on your PC.
