Help with my Task List

[Kryptic]

I was browsing at my Task list, using http://www.answersthatwork.com

 

to see if I had any viruses or spyware. I came across a few that weren't recognized by the database, and I dont know if I should end them.

 

 

 

a)ISAFE[Caution: Executable File] - System

 

 

 

b)PPActiveDetection[Caution: Executable File] - Hp_Owner

 

 

 

c)Winlogon[Caution: Executable File] - System

 

^^^The thing about this one is, I dont know if the full path for this task is either 1 - C:\WinNT\Winlogon[Caution: Executable File] or 2 - C:\Windows\Winlogon[Caution: Executable File] Because if they are either or, I have a virus.

 

 

 

d)WeatherDataClient[Caution: Executable File] - Hp_Owner

 

 

 

e)WindowsSearchIndexer[Caution: Executable File] - Hp_Owner

 

 

 

f)WindowsSearch[Caution: Executable File] - Hp_Owner

 

 

 

Again - I dont know if I should end their processes.

 

 

 

Thx for looking

A full HJT log is really the only way to tell if anything needs to be removed , theres so many variants of every file that hide in so many directories.

 

 

 

 

 

you DO have an active virus scanner and firewall running I hope ?

like albosky said, Hijackthis log is the only safe way to see what needs to be removed, because many of the issues that would need to be removed, have names that look alike to programs you commenly use.

Wanna fill me in on what the HijackLog is... I am quite the computer illiterate one..
