Windows 7 - *32 by some programs in Task Manager

| | *32 by some programs in Task Manager I saw this for the first time today. At first I panicked and thought I had a virus, but now I figure this is probably due to that recent massive security upgrade MS sent out on Wednesday. Some of my programs have a *32 just to the right of them. I'm going to guess that it's to distinguish 32-bit programs. Am I right, close, or completely off the mark? |

| | They've always been there. It isn't dues to any new update. Yes, those are 32 bit programs, as you correctly guessed. |

| | Not the question you asked, but since you are concered about virus, this would be a great time to download malwarebytes and run a scan. Do the same with your antivirus. http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php |

| | I guess I just never noticed them before. Thanks. I already have MBAM and will run it tonight for my weekly scan. :-) |
