• What is w8edc4.exe and winyxci.exe in the Task Manager processes

  I see these two exe files in my XP Task Manager process, but Google and Bing cannot find any info on them. I guess they are some kind of virus, but am not sure.

  Sometimes, when a malware gets on your system, it will take on a name composed of a few letters and random numbers.

  If you can't find them in a search on the Internet and the suspicious look (like those that do) file names, your system probably now has or has had a malware infection.

  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

• in the Task Manager, processes is called xxfirefox.exe is - this legitimate?

  Upgrade to Firefox 9, when I look in the Task Manager, the name is XXFIREFOX.exe. Firefox has been hijacked or is the new name for the v4?

  The main Firefox process is always named firefox.exe in Windows 32-bit operating systems.

  I would be very suspicious of a process named XXFIREFOX.exe. My advice is to run a full scan with your anti-virus software, and who does not find a problem if doing a "search > for files and folders" for this executable.

• How to deploy the Task Manager processes

  I have install the standalone BPM due to the error of confinguration (could not create the JAVA virtual machine) in Enterprise BPM.
  
  How to deploy the process created in the BPM studio in the fall?
  
  Thank you.

  After installation of stand-alone, run the "Admin Center".

  From there, start the Web Applications of BPM. Once this starts, you should be able to click on the "launch process Admin".

  After signing in (user created during installation), click on the 'Projects' link on the left. This will display all of the ongoing projects. From there, you can 'Add' a project using the export created in studio (file-> Export).

  * Note: This implies that the installation is complete and the two databases (directory and engine) were created.

  For more information, Documentation of Administration (project management) is: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/admin_guide/modules/projects/enterprise/c_Head_Managing_Projects.html

  And the Documentation of Installation is: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/config_guide/modules/enterprise/standalone/t_SA_Config_Overview.html

• The Task Manager process "chrome.exe * 32" is cited 9 times. Is this ok?

  Looking at my task manager to see how it goes, I noticed that "chrome.exe * 32" is cited 9 times. Is this ok?

  It is certainly true for IE is probably for Chrome.

  More generally one or two process entries that you have [or have recently] tabs open in your browser.  For example, I have three tabs open and recently closed two others - I have listed seven process for IE.

• I get a message that I don't have the latest version of Firefox. I just updated and downloaded the Beta Version 11. Why do I get this message?

  I get a message that I don't have the latest version of Firefox. I just updated and downloaded the Beta Version 11. Why do I get this message?

  The current beta version is 12 of Firefox, but if you're not a tester experienced, so it is best to stay with the current version of Firefox and uninstall the beta version.

  You can find the latest version of Firefox in all languages and for all systems operating here:

  • Firefox 11.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

• I have already updated Adobe Flash to the latest version, why Firefox may not detect?

  Through a company rep IT, he helped to update my Adobe Flash Player already as well as the installation of Firefox 3.6

  Now, why the firefox claims "You must update your Adobe Flash Player to view this video" when the Flash Player has been already updated to the latest (i.e. try to watch videos of youtube for testing).

  There are two different versions of Flash, the ActiveX version that is used by Internet Explorer and the version of the Plugin that use most of the other browsers, including Firefox. If both are installed, two Adobe Flash versions should appear in Add / Remove programs in Control Panel.

  1. download the file of configuration Flash from here:
  
  Adobe Flash - Plugin version.
  
  Save it to your desktop.

  2. close Firefox using file > exit
  
  Then check the Task Manager > processes tab to make sure that firefox.exe is closed.
  
  {XP: Ctrl + Alt + Delete, Vista: Shift + Ctrl + ESC process tab =}

  3. then run the Flash configuration from your desktop file.

  • On Vista and Windows 7, you may need to run the installer of plugin as administrator by starting the installation program via the context menu if you do not get a UAC prompt for permission to continue (that is to say that nothing seems to be happening).

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  Ok. What I wanted to say, this is so that YOU can see the file, you must be able to view hidden and system files. Windows will however see the file any if YOU can see it or not.

  In autoruns, in my opinion, you have not clicked on 'options', then 'Filter Options '.
  Make sure that all check boxes are cleared in 'Filter Options '.

  Tomorrow, I would like for you to delete infected tasks Manager by HP. And copy the Dell2 for HP-infected Task Manager. Just in case the task manager has been infected and start actually malware.

• two sometimes three iexplorer.exe. Open the process in the Task Manager

  original title: iexplorer.exe.

  everytime I open a sometimes three iexplorer.exe two Web site. Open in the Task Manager process is this normal or is one of them not supposed to run?

  Hi danielgirard,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. do you have a security software on the computer?

  3. it happens with any site that you open it?

  Method 1

  Every new Internet Explorer window that you open will create a new entry iexplorer.exe in the Task Manager.

  I suggest that you scan the computer for malware or virus infections and check if it helps.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  You can also use Microsoft Security databases to scan your computer

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/PC-security/MSE.aspx

  Method 2

  If the above does not help, then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Hide or restrict a specific process in the Task Manager

  I need to be able to hide or to limit a summer in the Task Manager process. I was wondering if someone could suggest a way to do? or if there is a way to make a backup of beginning of process automatically if a standard user finishes? even better if there is a way to completely hide the process in the Task Manager tab?

  I don't want to completely hide the Task Manager, as our users use it for final applications when they crash when myself and other specialists, are not on the site.
