I think I have an undetected virus.

Hitman Pro might find something. Try it with and without Force Breach mode. If it finds anything, you can activate a 30 day trial and it will remove it for you.

How does Hitman Pro compare to Emsisoft Anti-Malware? I am running the trial and noticed that when monitoring system usage compared to Avast & Comodo, it is more taxing on my system.

That sounds like a worm to me but just saying.

It does (most of it anyway). You can get to it from the task manager, Performance tab, [Edit]"Resource Monitor"[/edit].

It's actually the same code as Process Explorer but with a Windows 7 UI on it. Though there are some of the more tweaky drill-downs missing, there is still a ton of info about everything your machine is doing under there :)

Are you running Emsisoft real-time? Hitman Pro is purely on-demand, for now. It only scans for active threats but it is very good at it, in my opinion. (Long read. Edit: Not as long as I originally thought.) You can read exactly how it works in the Command-Line Reference: http://www.surfright.nl/en/downloads/business

This was a program initially made by System Internals. MS bought the software? As it is very in-depth, these programs are not for general users. They allow you to kill just about any program (some AV wont stop through this)

I use this on my systems as well as Autoruns: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb963902.aspx

Look through all thier programs there is a lot of great stuff in the suite Sysinternals Suite


Edit: Correction: ProcExplorer is a good interface, it does the same as Windows Taskmanager. (I feel it is easier to find info through ProcExplorer)

Guess You're right corrine. I shouldn't posted that in the first place. It's too dangerous for personal use without expert to guide... Thanks for correcting me :)
