Hi all,
I want to know what the heck is running in the background of my pc. I go and end the process of these programs, and they pop back up, under new names.
Example:
End EpwW2ln.exe and it comes back up as Jrz3r.exe.
There are two of these running and it really pisses me off that they use up sometimes 5 percent of my resources. That may not sound like much, but when you do graphic editing, it is.

I am on XP now and haven't tried it yet but it worked fine in all other windows' which I have used (95,95,NT,ME,2000). Oh it does work!
If you click Start
1 - Run
2 - Type in msconfig
3 - Click the Startup tab
4 - Scroll down and find the offending application and any more which share the same or similar path and you KNOW ARE NOT SYSTEM FILES
5 - Disable them
6 - Close
7 - Reboot
Hopefully that would solve the problems as it stops them loading on startup and therefore can not re-spawn.

XP doesnt have msconfig.exe , if anyone needs it that has XP e-mail me and I will send it to you. But try Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware , they will help also.

It just sounds like those annoying files which are sometimes automatically downloaded by adverts & pop ups, they are normally done by the time the window displays. I had a few once, I just stopped them and my firewall stopped any more. If not they could have come along with something that he installed or downloaded.
Ryan - If the files are still running check your internet connection for an increase in outbound and inbound traffic, we had a problem a few months back where rouge files were acting as mirrors for porn and other stuff, seemed to just die away though. If you see a sudden increase in traffic just disconnect, then a firewall would be very handy.
