Hi, i recently installed some xp updates and ever since
my computer has been running slower and has an
application running that i have never heard of. when i go
to shut down the computer it says this application has
not closed. it is called jhbcgb32.exe - does anyone know
what it is and if i can delete it. i scanned it and it
does not seem to be a virus. any help would be great.
cheers. JIM
 
Nothing shows up in Google for this file name. I would suspect a virus or spy/ad-ware.

Click Start, Run and enter MSCONFIG Go to the Startup tab and locate the entry that's loading this program. Uncheck it.

Boot your computer in Safe Mode and rescan your system, after ensuring that your AV software is up to date.
