nvsvc32.exe
rows.exe

I searched c:\ and INCLUDED "hidden & system files". These two (2) items
were NOT found. They are DAMN well . . . hidden. :-(

Microsoft AntiSpyware, Adaware, AVG and SpyBot do NOT detect them?

Anyone know WHAT they are and WHY they are running?

Thanks.

nvsvc32.exe is the NVIDIA Driver Helper Service installed as part of your
video driver package :-)
 
Thanks. One (1) "down".

Use the command prompt to find the missing file.
Open a CMD box
enter c:
enter dir rows.exe /s

It will search the whole c: partition and return to you the folder
location where it was found.

File Not Found.

I then did the same for d:, e: & f:

rows.exe Johann 00 1,108K (Task Manager)

VERY well hidden, isn't it?

All possibilities ar enot exhausted. Try it this way.

c: (enter)
dir /s /ah rows.exe

This will search all folders for rows.exe that have the
hidden attribute set.

Thanks. Found at:
C:\Documents and Settings\Johann\Application Data

It is a "Read Only" file. When I unchecked - it did not delete.
At the CMD I typed: del C:\Documents and Settings\Johann\Application
Data\rows.exe PATH not found?

I'll try deleting at re-boot BUT I don't think I can have any spaces in
the file name at that point. WHAT is the truncated file name?

GAWD; I think I'm back in "Windows for Workgroups". (Defraged a hell of a
lot faster AND defragged a FLOPPY . . . too.)

You need the " mark - for example

del "C:\Documents and Settings\Johann\Application Data\rows.exe"
