TROJAN or what?

[anomit]

Recently when i opened my task manager in Win XP, i saw that a program called xpjava.exe running. I am sure it is not related to java software. Is it a trojan?

Some ordinary tips from me....

1)Download Trojan Hunter/adware or spyware scanners and scan yo pc.

2)Check whether the received bytes is less than the sent bytes ... i mean more sending and less receiving when connected to the internet.
If your answer is YES... Its a sure sign of a trojan.

3)Use netstat -n or a firewall to trace the ip of the attacker/to know established connections.

Boy, netstat is good but not the definitive answer 2 this prob. Anyone can (not anyone) can perform IP spoofing, common among those piece of shit ha|<rs
