How to detect Unknown processes in your PC

whatis.gif

When you computer suddenly become slow one of the reasons is some Trojan or any malicious program maybe running in the background. To detect any running process, we simply press “Control” + “Alt” + “Del” and click on process tab.

There are so many unfamiliar processes on windows task managers. If you’re not regular PC users, you maybe confused with all the process names and wouldn’t be able to differentiate legitimate process and malicious one. Killing a legitimate process may turn your computer haywire.

Just go to whatisthatfile to identify suspicious processes or files. This site is AJAX powered and you don’t have to click anything. Enter the filename/process and you will get the result.
