Hi, I recently replaced taskmgr with procexp and noticed strange things. I have duplicates of the same process and there are constantly new processes opening and old ones closing. The process list in procexp keeps changing every second. In my other account, everything seems normal. I was wondering if this is a virus. Here is a copy of what is displayed: Strange Account: Process PID CPU Description Company Name System Idle Process 0 83.60 procexp.exe 5604 3.83 Sysinternals Process Explorer Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com bittorrent.exe 5028 3.83 DPCs n/a 3.07 Deferred Procedure Calls Interrupts n/a 1.53 Hardware Interrupts dwm.exe 1612 1.53 Desktop Window Manager Microsoft Corporation TmPfw.exe 2524 0.77 SynTPEnh.exe 4176 0.77 Synaptics TouchPad Enhancements Synaptics, Inc.

Hi quip13, It is probably doing just what it was designed to do: If you’re a “Geek” with a Capital G. you’ll understand it.. If you’re not a geek, Why do you need it??? 2oG - That’s 2oldGeek with a capital “G”
