still cant see my screenshot. Just copy & paste
link to a new window to view it.

My question, because I trhought we could edit messages, is Do you recognise any viruses in the processess ?

Hiya auto,

I viewed your task manager processes.

Although the processes seem to be fine and it is normal to have multiple svchost.exe's running, I am unsure whether they should appear there in capital letters.

In any case a screen shot of the task manager processes is not comprehensive enough to get a totally reliable assessment. Alot of malware disguise themselves as legitimate processes, and hidden processes won't show themselves.

Can I ask you why you might have concern, or are you just curious?

Ditto. All looks fine as far as current processes. Are you having problems and believe you may have a virus? Are you running an up-to-date antivirus program? If so, you should be fine.

Life's more painless for the brainless.

The reason Im asking is I have had viruses and suspect ashAvSrv.exe to be a virus or Trojan.

Also I want to know what is wowexec.exe doing in my process, because in most pc its not showing up in the process.

Also I want to know what is NTVDM.EXE doing in my process, because in most pc its not showing up in the process.

Also I want to know why like you said why svchost.exe is in capital letters (does wether your using XP home or XP pro ,make this difference )?

I am both concerned and curiuos. I am running an anti virus, but the only problem I have with them is if you get a new one ,then the
next day there could be 20 new viruses on the internet.

The best advice I can give is to download and run a hijackthis scan.

Don't fix anything with it, just choose "Do a system scan and save a logfile"

Hijackthis Here

When the notepad document opens, copy all of the text and submit it at:

http://www.hijackthis.de/

Paste the text into the blank box and click the "Analyze" button at the bottom of the page.

Here you will get a fair analsys of the processes running on your pc.

It is adviseable not to let hijackthis fix anything. Run a few scans if you find that there is some malware as hijackthis is a very powerful tool and used incorrectly can damage your system.

For an explanation of each process, this is a good site:
