Is there some other place i should be looking into? many thanks for advice.

What do you mean by "get into the processes and threads of?" Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

have you tried using task manager and going to the procceses tab

If you want these programs terminated, go to DOS (start-run) and type in services.msc. REMMEMBER, these programs you listed are running for a reason.

hi, let's start again, i'm trying to eradicate <Bad> entries that are in the above programs which were revealed by a2 HiJackThis Analysis but need to know how to do this. Can u help here many thanks for advice.

I wonder if you are misreading HiJackThis. I would suggest that you go to the 'Security and virus' forum. Ask if you can post your HiJackThis log for them to analyze. Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Windows Defender has a feature called Software Explorer that shows process information. Or you could get Process Explorer from SysInternals. It shows all the threads of currently running processes. UNIX is an operating system, OS/2 is half an operating system, Windows is a shell, and DOS is a boot partition virus.
