    A buddy of mine who knows more than I do about keeping computers free of "issues" told me that I should occasionally check all the processes in my Task Manager by googling them up and making sure that I only have processes running that I WANT running. I was doing this today and I ran across this fellow. ggviwer81-42.exe it's using only 736K - 780K under the user name administrator. Other than Fast.exe (which is supposedly an OLD power toys process - I plan to install the newer version tonight), this is the only "questionable" process I see. If I haven't provided enough information yet, please let me know and I will give additional information ASAP.

    Locate the file on your PC and right click on it and select Properties and then check out the Version tab information. See if you can identify from that who it belongs too. If there is no Version tab, it is possibly (but not definitely) a malware application.
