Winmain |
|
winmain.exe |
One of the first of a new breed of malware. When run it immediately loads MSHTA.EXE from the Windows folder, placing it on "hot standby", ready to accept HTA scripting within a web page and then EXECUTE what is embedded IN the page as a program! In other words, it's possible for a "rogue" website to actually embed trojans, worms and/or viruses directly into a web page. BOClean's HTA Stop offers an easy way to toggle this capabiltity, or rather vulnerability, on and off. I suggest you leave it disabled! |

Wintime Wtxpload |
|
Wxpload.exe Wintime |
Part of the software to support a Dexxa USB graphics tablet. From a visitor - "This gets started anyway when you plug in the USB connector for the graphics tablet, if it's not already running. It then starts an application which manages the tablet messages. Since I leave the tablet unplugged unless I need to use it, I don't need this running at startup. I suspect that this program monitors a number of windows messages, so that when it's loaded, my regular mouse slows down - it acts like it 'sticks' entering and leaving windows. Certainly my performance returned to what I expected when I removed this item using MSCONFIG" |
