c:\windows\system32\drivers\conime.exe error

This is what I found about that file:

conime.exe is a part of the the Microsoft Windows Operating System and is essential for the secure and safe operation of your computer. This process is used when a Asian laguage is used in Windows.

Note: conime.exe could also be a process which is registered as the Input Method Editor Remote administration backdoor tool. This backdoor application can allow attackers to access your computer, stealing passwords and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.

Note! If your system is using a non western language this can be a legitimate entry.

Determining whether conime.exe is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from.

Roslyn:

If you take your computer to a computer shop to "get cleaned up", they're probably going to recommend formatting the hard drive and doing a fresh install of XP.

If you have any personal documents, photos, etc. you want saved and not lost in the process, you need to copy and burn them off to CD-R's before you take it in.

I'm just trying to save you some grief before it's too late.
