• In older firefox if I stop firefox.exe to the Task Manager and start firefox it will restore all my open tabs, now it doesn't

  usually in the earlier version as 28, so I end the process "firefox.exe" task manager and run back the firefox, it will restore the tabs normally I opened (websites that I had until I stop the firefox.exe)
  But now that more recent versions, not give me this feature, restore session screen becomes white and I drop my open sessions.
  I have to use the history to restore the sessions that I lost,

  Please can someone take a look at this problem, it would be an interesting option to stop the firefox.exe in the Manager of tasks and able to restore all the sessions again

  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.

• Infected computer - unable to end csrss.exe and winlogon.exe in the Task Manager

  in my pc win 7 when I run the task mngr I see to the process without all the properties and descriptions and I cannot put an end to these processes, how do I know that they are infected, the processes are 1: csrss.exe 2:winlogon.exe
                                                  

  Hello

  Those who are part of Windows and should be in the process. Normally they are not a problem unless you
  have an infection that affects them.

  =======================

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• 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.

  (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• 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.

• Under the "Task Manager", which is the unsecurapps.exe Function?

  I'm trying to find out what made the 'unsecurapps.exe' function in the Task Manager? or is linked to?

  If you have spelled the name correctly, then it is very likely to be malicious.

  When a Google search produces no hits or suspicious hits (the case of unsecurapps.exe), the answer usually is that the file in question is focused on the malware.

  What antivirus application do you use? Is current and never expired subscription?

  Download, install, update and run full scans with two of these free analytical tools:

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not run the scans at the same time.  They can take some time, so start an and then go for a non computer chore for awhile.

  However, if the task is actually unsecapp.exe, it's another story.

  If you're running Vista (what version of Windows is installed, including service pack?):

  Sink to receive asynchronous callbacks for the WMI client application running in different processes. WMI, Windows Management Instrumentation, allows developers to write scripts and programs for the management or querying features, user accounts, Windows services, running programs, networking and many other internal technical aspects of Windows.

  This particular task, UNSECAPP. EXE, is launched by Windows Vista when a program needs to use WMI programming - it offers a conduit (sink) programs to receive the results of their WMI queries and commands windows.

  Unsecapp.exe is not limited to Vista, but also concerns the use of Windows Management Instrumentation in XP sp2: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875605

  What do you do when unsecapp.exe appears in the Task Manager?

• Iexplore.exe process still running in the Task Manager

  I was see multiple iexplore.exe processes in the Task Manager when I'm not in IE, so to trouble shoot it I uninstalled IE, run several different scans/squared (which found nothing) and iexplore.exe is still appear in the Task Manager. I guess that it is some sort of virus since I uninstalled IE and it is always showing to run. No idea how to do the trick of it? I am running XP.

  IF IE 8 was present in the control panel > add or remove programs, then when you have uninstalled it from there, you have restored the previous version of Internet Explorer, in other words, IE 7.

  The best way to confirm this is to start IE and then click Help > topic.

  There is malware that disguises itself as iexplore.exe.  If you see iexplore.exe or Iexplore.exe in msconfig or in the Task Manager after Windows startup, but you did manually start Internet Explorer, you probably don't have a problem.
  What antivirus applications you scan with?

  If you haven't already done so, I suggest to do the following:

  Run a scan virus online with the eSet online scanner (may require a download if you are using a version of Internet Explorer)

  Download, install, update and run MalwareBytes AntiMalware (free)

  Download, install, update and run SUPERAntiSpyware

  You can uninstall all the latter after their use, if you wish.

• Chrome.exe appears 6 times in the Task Manager. This means that it has been installed 6 times?

  Chrome.exe appears 6 times in the Task Manager. This means - it is installed 6 times?

  Task Manager shows you what is "running", not what is "installed".
  Probably, you have just 6 case of Chrome running for the single facility.
