"lphlpsvr" -- Virus or legit file??

"lphlpsvr" loads up at start up and will not allow itself
to be terminated. It has been found attached to my
Microsoft Broadband - with what looks like my encryption
WEP code and and "exe" extension.

Am I hacked? Is it a virus? Is it harmless and legit?

I'm running Windows ME -- have lots of crashes so I
erased most game programs and related communications
programs. I've run Spy Bot - deleting all spy and
adware - and also run McAfee Virus Protection.

Any informed ideas out there?
Thanks,
Carmen

If it is lphlpsvr, you're okay. If it is iphlpsvr (note the I, not L at the
start), then you've probably got a virus on your computer. Check to make
sure which file it is, and run your anti-virus software. Then I would
suggest you use one of the free anti-Trojan programs like AdAware to clear
your system.

Thanks very much Chris, I'll check on that (i vs l) and
run AdAware too.

Sure have to install a lot software to keep assaults out.
I've got Zone Alarm, Start Stop, Spybot, VirusScan, and
now... AdAware.

8-) Keep your system patched with the critical updates from Windows Update,
and keep the firewall running. If you're on a LAN, you really don't need
software firewalls because the router's hardware firewall will stop
intruders before they get to your computer's software firewall.
