Since a week I have a problem in my computer, he becomes slower and some processes in task manager appeared and I've never seen them before, some of them are also duplicate.
Like: ati2evxx.exe - 2 times
avp.exe - 2 times
CLI.exe - 2 times
svchost.exe - 7 times


I am experiencing this too
in addition , whenever I use realplayer , iexplore.exe x2 pops up under processes , though the actually ie window did not . When i close realplayer , those ie.exe remains in the list.
help please T-T

Here's a hint: leave off the "quotes" when posting an URL, and it will form a link...

As mentioned in that abandoned thread:

Maybe it's not a security issue at all

and

It's not unusual to have many svchost.exe loaded


... other than that, there's little to be gained from referencing that post, you could've merely stated things in your own words (as in that earlier message))

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

2 days ago , this thing random starts up multi processes , and my computer just restarts . And thats not just it , after that restart , it restarts again when i log in to my user <<repeat
the max processes opened i seem is 58 . . .
its not just those duplicates , something like 1.exe , 2.exe , ABS5239.exe . . . and alot more unknow/i never seen things pops up under processes list . . .

even the second i log into my user , 2 IEXPLORE.exe are already under processess list

I tried this Panda scan online . . . every time it comes up with more detected virus & spyware ">>

... that does seem a bit different than the info provided in your original message - - the first set of files mentioned do not appear terribly suspicious (but those in your 2nd 'list' do)

Well, it's difficult to ascertain anything definite beyond the fact that Panda's online scan has found suspicious or infected files - - presumably it disinfects or deletes those?

Do you not run your own security software (antivirus and antispyware, etc)?

"the max processes opened i seem is 58"

It's not so much 'how many' as what is running (and from where)
