Tasks won't terminate

[Larry]

I am on Win XP
Service pack 2, fully updated.

I have two tasks in the task list, (when I do a ctl-alt-del) , and the
same tasks appears when I run the program
Task Power (From PC magazine). But I cannot terminate these tasks.

They are: SunThreatEngine.exe and SunProtectionServer.exe.
I know what they are, they are programs, drivers, ? whatever, that came
with CounterSpy, an anti-spyware program.

But why can I not terminate them?
When I do terminate them they reappear a few minutes later
And
Why do these programs, services, or whatever they are, appear no where
in numerous programs that I can run
to tell me what programs, services, drivers etc.... run at startup.

I have startup cop pro, I have autoruns, task power, Startup List 2.0,
ServiWin, and Startup Control Panel 2.8,
but the two tasks do not appear in any these programs as startup
items,services, drivers etec....

Thanks in Advance,

Larry

If they were easily stoppable by the user, how hard do you think it would
be for an unwanted/uninvited guest to disable them?

I am using XP SP2.
My internet explorer can brows all websites but it takes much time to brows
<www.mail.yahoo.com>,
Even if it gets the website, but when I put my Yahoo username & password it
shows
"Page can not be displayed". But if I try with other computer I can sign in
at my yahoo account.

Can any one tell me what should I do?

Remove that nasty app ASAP.
