I used this method to identify and delete a worrisome piece of malware a while ago.

My anti virus and mal ware programme was saying everything was good when it obviously wasn't.

I have but it's difficult for me to know which processes are normal and which aren't.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
