Random Files On Task Manager!

[Kaorichan2002]

Eww im scared there are popups from explorer poping up.
i got two dll hosts running one from system and one from owner.
Then theres another thing... Msn_Sl.exe by owner... wtf... is it linked to my many spyware issues?
Should i bring norton back from the dead?!

The Msn_Sl.exe file is legit, see HERE for info.

As for the rest of your problems.

Go and read the Trojan Pakes and other nasties preliminary removal instructions. Follow all the instructions exactly.

Post fresh HJT and AVG Antispyware logs as attachments into this thread, only after doing the above.

I promise I won`t laugh.

I definitely don`t find viruses/spyware funny at all, that`s why I like to get rid of it for folks.

gcn is a chat network.
i like my tool bars.
you sure theres nothing else worryable?
*running on canned coffee and cake* OOOOO____OOOOO hehehehe.

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Nothing else except for what I listed.

I`m not so sure that GCN is safe, but it`s up to you if you want to keep it. Also, many toolbars download viruses and spyware onto your computer. Apart from Yahoo and Google toolbars, I wouldn`t recommend any.

i use yahoo and google and they dont block popups too well..

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I`m not on about them blocking popups, I`m on about toolbars that actively download rubbish onto your computer, or spy on your computer usage etc.

How`s your system running?
