Taskkill-like for Windows Xp Home?

[Powpow]

I searched on google for some and I think the more threatening were winstall.exe, winupdates.exe, runserv32.exe... but I as I said... that's google point of view.

The winupdates.exe process belongs to a dangerous worm (which is like a computer virus).  The info on it and how to remove it are here:

The winupdates.exe is a less-dangerous spyware process:

You can remove it with a program like SpyBot Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware.

You might have other undetected viruses, Trojan Horses, or worms, so you should purchase a good antivirus program, update it and run a full system scan, or use your Windows CD to reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS.  If you don't have the cash to buy an antivirus program, try a free one:
