jupitco? And tnx to HLeboeuf

[nancy riley]

I have Adaware & AVG 6 both updated on my computer, but in checking the
processes running in Task Manager I find jupitco, which I don't think I put
there, and several instances of svchost.exe, which I don't understand. Are
these viruses? I got rid of all the "hs_err_pid xxx.log" things on my
desktop via the Google search you recommended. They were like rabbits,
multiplying. Thanks again. Nancy

sounds like spyware, DL spybot, update it-run it, also
try spysweeper if spybot doesn't do the trick. or pest
patrol. the only could find out about jupitco is someone
said it was some kind of flash card reader.

To name only 2 these virus use svchost.exe, so check it out.
