jusched.exe is supposed to be JavaUpdateScheduler but this might be just another file abusing the trust to Sun.
Summary:
Key under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\WinLogon changes to:
explorer jusched.exe

Symtomps (XP SP2-SP1 or earlier wouldn't give this symptom unless you manually adjusted):
When you try to browse to a webpage, you start to get "Page not found" on second attempt if not on first.
Checking events shows a warning event ID 4226 (TCP/IP has reached security limit...) - this means there were connection attempts over 10/secs. If tcpip.sys is patched to remove limit or SP2 is not installed (win2003 SP1) you wouldn't get these symptoms nor event logged. However you might notice slowdown in network connections.
Checking from DOS prompt:
netstat -no
reveals connections on port 445 all with same PID (PID points to jusched.exe).

PS: Remember in my case it was jusched.exe. Whatever it's currently unidentified by virus scanners as a virus. SP2 firewall warned or not I don't know (I'm not the user of affected boxes only admin here - after they said they can't connect to internet since wednesday these were what I found and fixed, during fix I saw jusched was added in firewall exceptions list, probably users don't know what to do when they see alert and simply choose unblock).

Fix: Well I only edited registry to remove all entries I found and it's gone. Just luck believe me:)
