We saw this on a Win2K machine, along with a process "w.exe".  It appears 
to be a trojan.

To remove it: find the WinLogin service in the registry and set its path back 
to point to "winlogon.exe".  Reboot and you can delete wlogin and w.  

There's a bit more information at deja; I think we searched for "wlogin.exe."
