Idle Chat / Mystery Processes
« on: November 08, 2004, 02:02:59 PM »
Recently I got an email notice that my computer had sent a message infected with the Smartfool worm, AKA Netsky. Running my antivirus program detected no infection.
As all this malware continues to run rampant, I would like to become more proficient at protecting my computer and being able to identify proceses that are currently running. The process names do not give a clue if they are friendly, necessary or destructive items. Is there a resource list available somewhere so that I can identify good/bad processes and deal with the bad ones?
Thank you,
Jerry D.
