I've got some concerns about a possible worm on my computer because it's been a bit sluggish lately AND my animated mouse pointer keeps reverting back to a default pointer.So, I was wondering how to find out what each of my svchost.exe files are. I don't have that program..??what's the name of it?.I've already scanned with updated definitions: HJT, Adaware SE, Spybot S&D, Spysweeper, etc.
View 1 RepliesWhen I open Windows Task Manager, it shows svchost.exe running in the background (i assume). This file consume a lot memory and it does iritates me because i don't know what it is.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Windows XP and I recently had a problem with my task manager becoming
disabled. Upon attempting to open task manager I would recieve a message
stating that it had been disabled by my administrator, I am the administrator
and I did not disable the task manager. I corrected this problem and now when
I attempt to open the help menu in the task manager I get a message stating
that the task manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.
A friend of mine has a 4 yr. old PC running XP Home with 128Mb of memory. He's had problems with programs aborting recently. I tried to run Device Manager to make sure there were no issues there. It briefly brought the screen up, then it went away. The same thing happened to Task Manager when I tried to see what was running and how much memory was being used. Anybody ever see this behavior before? I might try installing a memory cleaner pgm (ie. Memturbo), but I'm not sure I would even be able to get it to run. The hard drive amd memory seem to have no errors.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded some media files and straight after my computer slowed down to a crawl and then would not respond. The mouse pointer remains active but i cannot click on anything succesfully. The task bar and task manager do not respond at all, i can open files saved on my desktop but cannot do anything when they're open and cannot close them again. I reset my PC a number of times but this did not solve the problem. I assume this is a virus or spyware problem but could it possibly be anything else?
View 17 Replies View RelatedYou know how after you end a program using End Task in Task Manager, it asks you if you want to tell Microsoft about the problem? I was able on my other XP system to change an option somewhere so it doesn't ask me that any more. I just can't remember how I did it.

I hope this question makes sense to someone.
I clicked some virus and opened it like a idiot I need smoe help removing it. Everytime I CTRL+ALT+DELETE, the task manager comes up then its killed for some reason.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo basically my computer is not doing just about everything - I am lucky for it to be working right now. So much errors - explorer.exe does not run at start up - task manager sometimes is disabled by administrator (but works sometimes, like now, so that i can run explorer.exe from it) - windows live communictaions always has problems - MSN, not working, just freezing. There has also been shortcuts to porn sites and gaming sites put everywhere. CMD is not working either, hardly anything is. I have no idea how to fix it, someone said something about a SkyNet virus but I think it's more.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded from Windows Me to XP-Home a couple of months ago. I expected several things to be different, but in a GOOD way, ya know? There are a few things that don't work as well and I'm wondering if it's just me, or is it the program? It takes much, much longer to start up and shut down now. I've taken the unnecessary things out of the Start Up in an attempt to speed it up, to no avail.
In Me, when a program would stop responding, I did Ctrl-Alt-Del, and the task manager would pop right up and allow me to end the problematic program in a reasonable length of time. In XP, when I do c-a-d, it takes up to two minutes for the task manager to pop up....then when I click on the bad program line and then click on End Now, the little End Now box pops up, so I click on that and the little box goes away, but the program I'm trying to kill keeps going. I've seen it take up to four minutes to stop a program. There have even been times that the End Now box stopped responding...
remove this ddplay.exe from my task manager.This is coming only when IE6 browser runs. I open IE, go to Task Manager, delete this(ddplay.exe)I open another instance of IE, then this crap comes again. Its taking almost 25MB memory. My OS is Windows2000 and upto date (windows update)

And when I control-alt-delete, I get the menu, but when I choose Task Manager, nothing happens
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Windows XP Pro SP2 and have noticed this sqlservr.exe process running in the task manager but have no idea why it's there and what it's for. I don't use the Sequel Server program on my computer. Could it be used for another application that I installed?
