What process is running?

For some reason I have a process running thats taking up over 300 megs of ram on my computer. It's called WinIRXHelper.exe and as far as I know it isn't related to any of my open programs. BTW the programs I have open now are:


AIM
Winamp 2.9
MSN Messenger
LeapFTP
Raiden FTP server
Windows media player and internet explorer.

have you run a virus scan and ad-aware. a google search did not produce anything of help, but i would try the obvious first. search for the application and see what folder it is in, and maybe it will give you an idea of where the program is coming from. hope that helps

Just a hunch - get The Cleaner from www.moosoft.com and scan for Trojans - I think you have Netbus or Sub7.
