svcnxp32.exe ring a bell with anyone?

Subject: svcnxp32.exe ring a bell with anyone?

Hey list,

Rebooted my XP-box today to do a chkdsk. When it came back up my firewall
went beserk, warning me about an application called "svcnxp32.exe" trying to
connect to 82.36.152.102

I don't know what it is - I just know it has no business doing that. A
Google search for svcnxp32.exe came up blank.

After removing svcnxp32.exe from my registry and deleting the file from
C:\Windows\System32 I scanned my system with Kaspersky. No infection.
Scanned with AdAware, same result.

A RIPE WhoIs lookup on IP 82.36.152.102 shows it as belonging to Blueyonder,
apparently an Internet provider located in England. I've emailed their
abuse-department (not holding my breath though), but would like to hear from
you all if you've run into this or something similar?

Using Tiny Personal Firewall, my log showed this:

Count:1
Module:Firewall
Action:Prevented
Application:svcnxp32.exe
Access:Outbound TCP access
Object:1027 -> 82.36.152.102
(82-36-152-102.cable.ubr04.perr.blueyonder.co.uk):6667 (ircu)
Interface:[9] Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
Time:05-September-2004 23:46:40

Regards,

Jes
