If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options Hi David, After reading your answer to this post i went to Task Manger
and found five (5) svchost.exe services running - 3 Network Services ,
and 2 System. Now after seeing your answer and checking
Process Library and finding out this svchost.exe could be used by a
Trojan, How can i find out the path's of these services in Task Manger
like in your example? Thanks Ron (Defender)
