Nothing stupid about that.

All the tools I use, spyware free and reccomended elseware.

My security rule #1 don't trust anyone,
thanks for asking.

You can wait to see if it checks out.

Using Sygate myself now, does not
show up using ctrl-alt-del, (not loaded
at startup).

Under process exploror its smc.exe.

Stay safe, remember rule #1.

Yeah, I know, I try to keep my comp (Even though it sucks, lol) as safe as possible, which is why I worried of that, now with Process Explorer I can tell whats running.

It just may not be starting on boot, so it wion't be in CNTRL-ALT-DLT
So, have it start on boot and and it will be called smc.exe
