Amlafvc.exe?

Subject: Amlafvc.exe?

Ok, I have a machine that has this program running under any user that
logs into the machine.
This process spawns anywhere from 1- 10 times, and uses up to 60% of the
Processor...
Antivirus found nothing(on the machine and from a web version), Spybot
found nothing,
And all web searches prove useless.

I cannot terminate it as it spawns and vanishes constantly changing the
process ID..
It is listed in the registry as Microsoft Update machine.
BUT there is nothing on the Microsoft website about it.

And is is located in the windows\system32 folder as an EXE file and a
folder called c:\windows\prefetch as a .pf file.


It sounds like it may be a Microsoft component, but I just do not know..
It is not on 3 other Windows XP machines in the office..
The system is running SP1


IDEAS?


Thanks,
Jim
