I just recovered from that infamous worm that blocks off Task Manager, and regedit. I wanted to know which one of my processes seems out of place and/or dangerous. I now about the ones I need, but the following are ones that I am not sure about. Thanks.

DefWatch.exe
spoolsv.exe
rundll32.exe
svchost.exe (x4)
jusched.exe
ccApp.exe
wdfmgr.exe
 
Some people would describe Norton as a dangerous process,other than that though,those are safe.
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

They all seem fine. However, rundll32.exe can be used by some malware.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

Then post a HJT log.

Well, at least jusched.exe is unnecessary, if you ask me. It just sits there and checks for Sun Java updates.

Java isn't updated often, so I wouldn't keep the updater / scheduler running all the time.
 
Here is my HJT log, some said they wanted to see it
