I've had a sudden increase in odd processes popping up on my firewall. I've blocked them, but I cannot figure out what they are or how to stop them - or if I even need to. I've googled around a bit, and run several programs, but they persist. Does anyone know what these are? Windows NT Logon Application LSA Shell (Export Version) Application Layer Gateway Service NDIS User mode I/O Driver Or these even - these look legit (?) NT Kernel & System Generic Host Process for Win32 Services I ran Spybot Search & Destroy and Adaware. I also used an online virus scan which found and cleaned TROJ_CAIIJING.e. I also use a Sygate firewall - that's what these processes keep popping up on. I'd like to eliminate these process if they are unnecessary. They pop up very frequently, which can interrupt other programs. |
here is your prescription: If you have Norton, uninstall it. Download, Install and update these Programs. Then Run Windows Update. Firefox 2 (use this to surf the net, not IE) No Script add on (follow usage instructions, or you will think you have problems CCleaner (run once a week) AVG Free AVG anti-rootkit free Avast 4 free (or this alternative to AVG, if you install this...dont install AVG) And If you must use spyware detector programs, then use these approved versions: the real ADAWARE can be found here the real Spybot SD can be found here |
Thanks gaspain. I will implement this prescription in the AM. I'm in an area with crappy download times at the moment. I've been running the first Firefox for a while now, didn't know there was a new version out. I've also been running AVG for a long time now.
