Hi. I've looked at the processes in my taskmanager. I've run a virus scan and no virus. Which of the following processes don't belong to my Windows XP 2002 Home? I installed spybot. It did catch some of the adaware/spyware. I also installed spyware blaster, but it or something that it triggered caused the cpu usage to be 100%. I had to uninstall it. I have McAfee Virus scan. Which of these are not part of my computer? alg.exe LOCAL SERVICE AutoUpdate.exe Owner Avconsol.exe SYSTEM Avsynmgr.exe SYSTEM BackWeb-137903.exe Owner Cpsx6V9.exe Owner csrss.exe SYSTEM DDCMan.exe Owner dpi.exe Owner Explorer.exe Owner hpgs2wnd.exe Owner hpgs2wnf.exe Owner hpobrt07.exe Owner hpoevm07.exe Owner hpoisn07.exe Owner hposts07.exe Owner hpsysdrv.exe Owner IEHost.exe Owner iexplore.exe Owner KBD.EXE Owner Loader.exe Owner Isass.exe SYSTEM Mcshield.exe SYSTEM msworks.exe Owner pcsv.exe Owner S3apphk.exe Owner services.exe SYSTEM Sgr88mf.exe Owner smss.exe SYSTEM spoolsv.exe SYSTEM svchost.exe SYSTEM svchost.exe SYSTEM svchost.exe NETWORK SERVICE svchost.exe LOCAL SERVICE svchost.exe SYSTEM System SYSTEM System Idle Process SYSTEM taskmgr.exe Owner TB.exe Owner tfswctrl.exe Owner updmgr.exe Owner vshwin32.exe SYSTEM VSStat.exe SYSTEM winlogon.exe SYSTEM wkgdcach.exe Owner WksWP.exe Owner wtssvit.exe Owner Thank you very much for any help you can give. andromeda1
