simcss.exe

[Nagesh Ramiah]

I have a Norton firewall installed on my Win XP machine.
Two programs are constantly trying to access internet 1.
simcss.exe and tv-tmedia.exe.

I am not sure if these are part of the OS and why do they
need to access internet everytime I connect. Need help to
decide if I should take some corrective action for this.

Hi,

Take corrective action. Neither of those are legitimate system files.

Try spybot search and destroy. You can get it at www.download.com and search
for the indicated program name. Good luck.
