Hi,
my sons PC is running terribly slow.
When ctrl-alt-del into task manager I see that explorer.exe has many many
handles and threads ( about 5-5 times what I have).
System has about twice what I have.
I see no alien in teh program and processes listed in tasl manager.
Kaspersky and Bitdefender foudn 1 virus each, but that changed nope.
Ad-Aware SE : nothing and no change
Same : SpySweeper, Trojan Hunter.
I am almost sure there must be an intruder acting in background somewhere
( else why so many resources used by his explorer & system ?)
How can we investigate and block this ?
He did a clean install and less then a week later again he is hit !
He works on a LAN at high-school and needs that LAN.
Firewall is ZoneAlarm 4.5 free ( detects many netbios intrude attempts that
get blocked : to 4 per second !)
All ideas are wellcome !
Are there processes not listed in task manager ?
How find them ?
TIA for your lights !
Badly need them !
