Re: win processes

By the use of good antivirus, antimalware, firewall, and phishing filter software.

If you want specific information about a particular process, Google it.
That's what I do when helping people with their malware problems if I don't recognize something.

Re: win processes

If you two want to go swapping kisses, can you at least pull the shades?? My Windows are fogging up

Agree with advice, but finding one or two apps to cover the spread might be more resource friendly than trying to find a small flotilla of AV-type utilities (sure RIK had something like that in mind, but is good to clarify for the less experienced ), as the amount of processes generated by running individual utilities for each area can create more of a bog-down than most malware.

The best tool you can have though in the end, is yourself. Get to know your system... the ability to sense when things are not running as they should (ie, high memory usage when little seen to be running). Better yet, learning how to KEEP your system safe by your own practices, rather than over relying on the OS and 3rd party anti-malware utilities to keep your system secure - which can almost lead to a false sense of security.
