Hello,

I am using windows XP home edition in my laptop. Recently I have
noticed the my laptop is working slowly. I looked at the task manager
and I can see there are some process with multiple instances. For
example, my apache service apache.exe is running two instances and
sometimes even three. I have cygwin running and there is like 3 bash
running although I am just using one.

Is this because of a virus or a worm?

help me...

Some software will spawn multiple instances rather than being re-entrant.

If you are loading Apache then you are acting as a web server and if this is
true you have a
higher probability of being attacked. One needs anti virus software, FireWall
and and anti
adware/spyware software.

What have you you to scan the computer for malwatre ?

What tools are you using to secure and protect this platform ?
