Hi all

Sorry to start a new thread but I thought this bit of new information was
important enough to attract attention.

In my quest to find the invisible Spyware I have just used Norton Process
Viewer which is included in SystemWorks. This shows all processes currently
in memory and has the clever feature of allowing the user to click on
anything in Windows and it shows you the corresponding process. Guess what?
None of these pop-up ads have a process!!!! (They obviously must have but
they're cloaked?)
 
They are usually 'cloaked' under a inconsipious name that you might not have
noticed. For example, some spyware cloak them in name like IEXPLORE.EXE or
EXPLORER.EXE. The legit system process has no caps in its name, however. The
capitalisation does matter.
