Looks like it's connected to your Internet web explorer and yes, it could very well be that very program if you've caught one of their trojans that target that program.  It could be a java or other program hidden in you programs or temporary internet cache.  One of the sneakiest ones I ever found would not be able to be discovered today that easily.  It was a program that was hidden inside another javascript type program hidden in a hidden folder in the Temporary internet cache.  The catch was that it wouldn't delete or empty out when you emptied everything out of the Temporary Internet folder and since it was hidden most people might not even realize it was there.

I discovered it via root directories, followed it via that way (it didn't show up on processes), until I tracked it down via the explorer ways via Win ME (Win XP doesn't seem to allow me to get deeper than a certain level, even with admin rights...unless I hack it) and then unhid the folder, made it so that it allowed itself to be deleted (I think up until I changed it it was read only), and then deleted it.

It was one heck of a sneaky program...and that was a few years ago.  Certain they've made improvements on that type of stuff since then.  So it could actually be your browsers themselves with an imbedded program, but impossible to tell since I'm not looking at the computer itself.

Get process explorer from Microsoft's website.

It details each process, and it's sub processes in a nice GUI that's pretty easy to understand.

This can enable you to see what exactly is going on with your box.

You can also download TCPView, which is basically a netstat GUI interface that shows all your current TCP connections. This is useful when you suspect you might have malware or some other process going out and connecting to the internet behind your back.

We would need specific stats on your CPU, memory, type of memory, etc.

If you've already posted that apologies as I'm lazy and didn't read the whole thread.

Regards,


I've got TCPView open right now.  Everything showing in it looks OK except for this thing called "System:  4".  It won't let me query the properties for it and there are six of them running right now.  I can't seem to end them either.

Where and how would I get this information?

I'm afraid your wrong about that.  I work around the actual laziest white man living.  (Actual I think he is a shaven ape but it claims to be human).  He was too lazy to turn up for the class or apply for the certificate.
