In cleaning out clients' PC's, I frequently use the excellent list of known Windows processes located at ProcessLibrary.com. Tonight, though, I ran across a whole slew of processes that ProcessLibrary's search tool apparently hadn't been exposed to yet. I certainly don't have time to submit them all as possible 'new' processes, but hopefully someone will read this and gain confidence from the fact that I removed all of these (killed them, actually, with the 'End Process' button) without problems.
In no particular order, they are WebRebates1.exe, WebRebates0.exe, WinTaskAd.exe, paint.exe, uptime.exe, msie.exe, updatemgr.exe, McVSEscn.exe, svcshost.exe (NOT svchost! Leave svchost alone! I tried to warn you!), WinSched.exe, libsysmgr.exe (this one was BRUTAL...kept coming back after being killed...only a 'Safe Mode' reboot, manual deletion, and Hijack This! cleaning could get it), orro.exe, chkdsk.exe, and svphost.exe. Please note, these were running processes...found by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del and selecting the processes tab. No guarantees expressed or implied...stopping processes can be a dangerous thing. Good Luck, Spyware hunters.
