Need Help
I have Norton Antivirus 2004 to protect my system, and check system every month with msconfig to see if any program is running in the background without my knowledge.
This time I check, There is a unknown program running in the background with no name (blank) under the [startup item] column and with no command path (blank) under the command column.
During the earlier check with msconfig, the program wasn't there.
I scan my computer with Antivirus and it came up with nothing.
How do I delete the program??????
Or find out what the program is????
Help Help!!!!!
Thank you

Download, install and run Ad Aware:
www.lavasoftusa.com
If that doesn't find any malware, hit ctrl-alt-delete, first, look at the
programs tab and see if it is listed as a running app, if you don't see it,
check the processes tab and see if you can see anything running either
without a designation or some unfamiliar designation. NOTE: it is not
unusual to see several instances of svchost.exe. You should also see,
System Idle Process running in the high 90s, this is also normal.
