i have 4 of these that always runs in the background. when i right click on them and "go to process", i get:

svchost manager.exe
windll32.exe
msiexec.exe
verizon.net.exe

all of them have a mouse arrow icon in the task manager window. i might have mispelled the verizon one, because i was going to click "go to process" on it but accidently hit "end process".

also, i don't remeber having these. I think it either came with a "cracked" Limewire Pro i installed, or it came with updates to the Charter Security Suite that i was using. I uninstalled both and am now using AVG, but they're still there.

windll32.exe is bad! Try getting rid of this. I would recommend this:

svchost manager.exe is a host process. System needs this. No worries!

msiexec.exe is a Windows Installer. No worries!

verizon.net.exe is your ISP. No worries.

Don't be fooled any longer.
