This has now started to cause me problems when playing Civ5 (G&K) it never reared its head prior to this new patch/add-on for this game and now it constantly causes the game to crash. No idea how to resolve this issue at all. This is not a trojan horse or virus.. It's used to run your on-board graphics and comes from Intel!

The igfxsrvc.exe file was replaced with a virus file on 2 of my computers running Windows XP. The virus file was added to the c:\windows folder and was 184,320 bytes in size, while the legitimate Intel file was present in the c:\windows\system32 folder. The virus writes a recycler folder and an autorun.ini file to anything plugged into the usb port, including flash drives and hard drives. I can't tell what else it might be doing. Deleting this file from the c:\windows folder and related entries in the registry fixed the problem.
