Identifying Task Manager Processes
Done a search but can't find an earlier thread on this one.
If I open Task Manager and look at the list of Processes running, is there a definitive list published on a site somewhere which can translate the Process name into something the layman can understand ?
I know some are obvious I.e. IEXPLORER.EXE for example, and Google is fairly good at identifying some.
Over to the experts out there .....

If you suspect you have a problem, download and run a program calledHijackThis!! and then post your results here.
You can also try using a program called WinTasks for identifying processes.
I have had good experience with the link gas path mentioned too.
Cheers
