Scanning Running Procceses

[Cryptographic_ICE@yahoo.com]

We are using a program called LogMeIn Rescue that allows us to remotely
control computers. This program also has a feature where we can view a
list of running process on a machine. This list is stored in the
windows clipboard. Is there any way to scan this list for known Spyware
/ viruses? The format of the list can changed if needed. Right now we
are simply doing Google searches for info on process.exe

If we could scan the running proccess it might give us a better idea if
there is an infection. It would be "super quick"

unfortunately you cannot tell much of anything from a process listing...
malware can take on any name, it can even run inside the context of
another process (like browser helper objects, for example) and so not
show up in a process listing at all...

Open a browser and go to:
http://www.fileresearchcenter.com

.....click the big "Help" / Scan button on the upper right. It will at
least show if anything is immediately wrong with the machine.
