    Hey,

    Can anyone recommend a good link where I can find out what all the different "processes" listed under "Task Manager" are?

    Some I can recognize by name, like taskmgr.exe and explorer.exe, but mostly it's just mumbo-jumbo. I know some of them are system-specific, while others come from various programs, so I assume that there's no complete list, but at least if I know what some of them are it might be easier to recognize ones that could be malicious.
