A scan with Gmer last version of a machine running genuine Windows XP
Home Edition with SP2 installed showed two ***hidden*** processes
belonging to Active Virus Shield and Firefox.

Is that normal or should we worry?

Thank you very much.

If you can't interpret the output of a Anti RootKit utility such as GMer, you
shouldn't use
them.

Yes... It's normal.

I was wondering if it's normal they start hidden processes. If you
can't understand the questions, you shouldn't answer them.
