In the wake of the RPC worm, I would like to check that all of the processes running on my PC are supposed to be there.
Some of them I can recognise or take an educated guess at from the name of the process, but there are many entries with names like Servic~1.exe, svchost.exe (local service or network service), which I don't have a clue about.
Is there a straightforward way I can tie each process down to a particular program/service or whatever, so that I can be certain no rogue items exist?

Cheers Ian, had a look, but that seems to describe the services in greater detail, but not the processes (unless I am looking in the wrong place)
I want to know what all the things on the processes page in task manager (found by CTRL-ALT-DEL) are.

If you supply your e-mail address, I can mail you a program I'm knocking up (still in development), called Snooper, that lists services, drivers, windows, processes, Etc.
One of the useful things it does is give the full path of each process or service, so you can see what is *really* running.

Just got a mail back from ftgate@mdbgroup.co.uk saying that mailing you snooper.exe (zipped up) failed because:
Your message (header below) has been quarantined because of the following error:
An attachment (snooper.zip) in the message violated system permissions
I guess your mail system doesn't allow .EXEs to be sent?

Nog,
Correct, mail system quarantines almost anything with the potential to carry a virus, and scans inside archived/zip files too.
After virus checking, I was able to release it from quarantinr, so no problem.
