"Connection timed out (Error #10060)" in a window called "APP_BK_038" and generates a new pop-up window every minute.
I know that's a relatively standard timeout error, but it'll generate when nothing's seemingly going on on my PC, which is used as a server for the two Macs in my office thru PC Maclan software.
Any ideas on a fix?
I did a thorough google search and tried somethings, like looking for a virus named "sobig" or "gatedrp" and found nothing.

Do you have any kind of firewall software installed? Is it configured correctly?

no firewall. And not running any email software, like Eudora.

XP
STEPS TAKEN so far:
-- removed unnecessary programs
-- downloaded the latest Windows XP upgrades and patches
-- deleted cookies and all temp files from IE.
-- searched PC for a few known related virus

It definately sounds like sobig, especially if you aren't running anything.
Did you do a search for;
C:\WINDOWS\System32\cgtask.exe
and/or
C:\WINDOWS\System32\mmtask.exe

I didn't and they are both there.
Should I remove them?
