  1. Just noticed these two exe files trying to connect to the internet over the last 2 weeks

    oym5v.exe and i1h.exe

    They are both located in C\WINDOW\System32

    Norton anti virus and adaware doesnt pick them up,they may be legit procceses but i have never seen them before,I have blocked them with Sygate and have not noticed any difference to the way my computer runs.Just wondering if any one can tell me what they are.

    P.S i have done a google search to no avail

    Thanks

  5. Try downloading Windows Startup Inspector. Then click Consult in it and it will check its online database for those files and tell you if they are required, optional, or not necessary.
    You can find it at www.spychecker.com

    Unfortunately some spyware progs generate random file names. You might try running msconfig and removing them from startup if you see them there. Also, do a find and see where they're located. You might be able to check file properties and get more info on them.
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

    Did you hit consult? The online database may not have it. Anyway the safer way to fix it (rather than deleting it from the registry) is to uncheck it in Windows Startup Inspector or msconfig.
