Where can I find details about Task Manage ?
« on: January 19, 2007, 12:45:01 PM »
Greetings,

I have discovered the Windows Task Manager and curiously would like to know

more about the entries found there.

Is there a concise source of information to get details on individual entries there

as I have also found out that these are pertinent to computer functions, etc.

but have searched Windows Help with no results, I have gone to the

internet and searched for example, the image name under processes in

Windows Task Manager, . . .hcpcsvcd.exe, and have minimal non discript

information.

Here's one good source of info on processes: http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/.  If you don't find what you're looking for there, you'll just have to search for other sources.  hcpcsvcd.exe is not listed there and I believe this is probably an indication that it's very unusual.  And, indeed, a Google search on hcpcsvcd.exe yields very little.  

Have you done a full hard drive scan for viruses recently?

No, I haven't, as I have previously accessed links from this forum, (http://www.destroyadware.com/articles/removal/), and am only aware of the process of reviewing the programs in the Task Manager, and that
certain precautions should be taken when deciding which programs are uneeded or unfriendly, . . so I'm just now starting to appraise these, the one in mention when viewing the Task Manager Processes, . . I have now checked, (hcpcsvcd.exe), and could not find it ??  I do not know what to make of that ?
Appreciate your time and effort, thank you.

I have found the term usage as in the following quote;

"usage would hit 100 or other high numbers and stay that way, bouncing between the two numbers."

I checked CH Dictionary and there is no definition,, I am on a learning mission  for Windows Task Manager, . . .the above qoute, concerns usage and a bouncing scale, sorry I don't have any idea what it is, will appreciate information.

     Jp....... The running object, hcpcsvcd.exe  , isn't a good thing as far as I can see .
    I think it is there as the result of some nasty ..........
    It might be a good idea to post a hijackthis log file for us to have a look at .

    Yes, I have found the download for HiJack this, but before I do anything I have a question.

    When I posted this topic at the start, I came from my Task manager file and there it was, . . hcpcsvcd.exe, now it's not there, . . I went to search for it in my files and folders and it is not there either, does anyone have any idea where it might have disappeared to ?

    dl65,
    Are you still there I went to Hyjack and scanned there were no bad files,
    however I also down loaded Reistry Booster and found 307 files or bad paths etc.

    I'm not sure why this did not show up in the HyJack Scan ?

    But can I trust the register booster to leave my computer still working if I click fix?

      Jp.....  [highlight]Have you checked your Email [/highlight], I sent you some screen shots ....

      Now then , you said that you scanned with hijackthis and there were no bad files ....how did you determine that ? ([highlight] hijackthis simply logs what running [/highlight]) it doesnt fix anything until you tell it to .

        Jp.....  probably whats happened is you may have stopped it with the task manager ,however it may surface again ( because there is / or was a registry entry )

        Registry booster isnt fully functional in the trial mode, it will only remove /fix 15 errors ..... If you want to do all of them you must pay ....... or have you already done that ?
