processes in winxp
Hi.
Got some questions about virusses and tasks concerning windows, xp in particular: Will any process (including viruses/worms) be displayed in the winxp task manager/process tab? Or is there a way to make a process not appear there? I got like 6 "svchost.exe" in my taskmanager... is this normal? thx in advance... A. Schleifer |

I found a Ad product that was running behind "explorer.exe" which is the desktop. I'm sure this machine is clean, running XP and several other apps, and it's showing 6 SVCHOST.exe's also. -- -- (Remove 999 to reply to me) Leythos |

Re: processes in winxp
A very good free 3rd party program to view running processes is Process
Explorer, it can show you what's hiding behind any process. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/fr.../procexp.shtml -L "A.
