Project 1

[Guest]

Whenever I start my computer, on the task manager it says a program is
running called "Project 1." My computer usually runs really slow until I
click "Stop Task" on the task manager. What is this?

HI jen,
Do you have any Programming or developing software (C++,VB) on your computer
installed?,if n't do you have AV up to date,if you have run it,if n't this
some helpful links will get you a Scanner to Scan your system to be sure if
it is infected or Clean.
Hope that helps.

Do you use Kazaa? Could be malware. See this link:
