Windows XP Startup
I am running XP pro and checking out my Startup processes and found this odd one. Or just probably odd to a novice like me. It is the process that reads "1" and the command is "1". The closest match I could find is this one half way down the page. http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php?filter=1
But on that page it says the command "1" would actually have the extension of .exe. I don't have that and can't find an exact match. If this is a problem can I use this removal process? http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...n.esteems.html Thanks for your help. I just thought this was curious. And if it is what is described I hope no one has recorded information or keystrokes that would be very bad. -Matt |

After dealing with msconfig and services for awhile you become familiar with what should be there and what shouldn't and smells fishy. Considering there isn't any special software installed (which I highly doubt would only say "1"), "1" shouldn't be there and may be a trojan, spyware, or just a messed up install. Disable it and do a free full viri scan with trend micro to double check for installed viri. GL

I removed it so we shall see if there is a difference. I have researched like crazy and have yet to find an exact match. I do run the newest versions Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG, and Trend on a regular basis. Clean as can be according to those programs. I just found some funny things recently and according to research it say there is a virus that simply records information from my computer and keystrokes and sends them to a server. And that freaked me out sounds bad. Thanks for your help. -Matt
