What do you expect from any downloaded "Process Explorer". It's just
meant as a (quick&dirty) workaround since your taskmanager doesn't
work either, most likely. You might be better off when finding out
what trojan you have and to clean your compromised system instantly.

x86.

Hi,

x86 is for the majority of users. The other is for the small handful that
use the 64-bit version of Windows. Your hardware may be 64-bit, but the
operating system is likely to be the 32-bit version (x86).

x86 is for the majority of users.

In other words: x86 applies to most users asking that question.
Otherwise, they wouldn't ask.

 

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Precisely - those that need x64 generally know that they do.

The type of behavior you describe is typical behavior of more than
one virus/worm, the three below being the most common:

W32.Klez

W32.Yaha
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/[email protected]

W32.Spybot.Worm
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.spybot.worm.html

Because many of the newer viruses and worms, such as the Spybot
mentioned above, can disable antivirus applications whose definitions
aren't kept up-to-date, try using one or more of the free on-line
scanners to double-check your system.

Well you would think we would be using x32 and 64-bit users x64. It is not
that well known the origin of x86. And as far as I can tell x64 is NOT
Intel nomenclature at all whereas x86 is.
