Keyboard and mouse lockout
 
One of our users looses keyboard and Mouse function at about the same time
everyday. When I check the event log, I notice the same events happening at
about the same time the loss of function happens. The events/services that
are running or happen to execute at the same time a "b57w2k" and "W32Time".

Now, I check the registry on the W32Time and it's settings are the same as
others in the office, so it can't be that. But the b57w2k is another story.
I'm not sure what it does and why it does it.

The other issue is that I'd shut these services down, but they are not
listed.

Any suggestions?

What does an internet search reveal about these two services? I would
suspect that b57w2k is malware. You would get a better answer from the
virus newsgroup.

b57w2k.sys is a driver.
