Windows sysval23.exe problems after tftpd32 install

I keep getting this error message:

This came after the installation and running of TFTPD32 (a free FTP server application). There are two problems with this program:
1. I found out there is a security hole that allows people to launch code on my PC
2. I have never heard of it and most certainly did not install this!

This program appeared in my system tray after I got back from working on my computer desk at a friend's house.

I usually click the 'ok' button (the only button) about 15~20 times before it stops for a few minutes.

And I just got rid of msblast.exe! arg!
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

 

Sure you don't mean sysval32.exe ?

It's a Windows file, don't worry.

However a little somethig might interest you :

Seems a similar problem to yours. Hopefully you can clean it out if it is.

And after the MSBlast exploit too, seems you might not be out of the woods yet. This what you get for unupdated and unprotected computers.

 

I've found that page, but it responds as though the problem is msblast, which I have already taken care of.

I think it may have been... I'm glad I didn't delete it!

I shoved it into another directory so it wouldn't act as a system file for the time being, and I haven't gotten an error since.

I will soon be re-formatting when I get my new HDD in anyway, I'll just be sure to put a hardware firewall on my list of things to buy for school this semester!

 

Haha, yeah I know what you mean.

un firewalled here right now plan on getting a nice Linux box running as my server firewall though shortly.

 

if so, could you post some tips on maybe a project log in the linux/open source threads so others (such as myself) might figure out how to do that as well?

 

Of course I will.

Right now I've only got one computer, so if it goes down for repairs, modding, or setup, I lose BiT, but since it'll soon become my server box, I'll be able to use the other one still, which means pretty much a live BiT feed on what's going on and how I'm doing stuff.

And of course when I'm building the new rig.
