Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted July 1, 2002 I'm trying to figure out what's been causing my computer to run so slowly. It seems like there are alot of programs running in the background, but I don't know what they are. I think one of them is spyware because I'll get popups sometimes. Can anyone help? taskmgr.exe IEXPLORE.EXE EANTHO~1.EXE PELMICED.EXE CMESys.exe rundll32.exe SVAPLAYER.EXE qtask.exe ahqtb.exe Navapw32.exe sychost.exe Navapsvc.exe delvdr32.exe explorer.exe spoolsv.exe sychost.exe sychost.exe sychost.exe lsass.exe services.exe winlogon.exe csrss.exe smss.exe GMT.exe ctfmon.exe System System Idle Process With all of these running, the CPU usage is peaking in the low 20s.

IEXPLORE - Internet Explorer rundll32.exe - Part of Windows sychost.exe - part of windows winlogon.exe - part of windows System - windows System Idle Process - windows ctfmon.exe - part of windows i believe services.exe - part of windows PELMICED.EXE - part of windows i believe I would most likely looks at EANTHO~1.EXE PELMICED.EXE as being the most likely spyware... just end the process... if nothing happens then you are right but if say windows shutsdown then you know that it was part of windows. Its how you learn :-) Also try searching for the names on Google.com . You can usually learn what something is really easily on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
