I have 709 processess running on a win2k pc.
these 2 programs are repeating them selfs over and over.
844b7whatk.exe and 8wlo0jlvhs.exe/
is this a virus? I ran adware and spybot s&d and they found nothing.
I also did a google search on them and nothing.
what are they?

Do you ahve a virus scan program .If Yes do a scan ,also run the online scan in my signature .
If you want you could get HIJACKTHIS in my signature and run it don't fix anything yet
, and post a log ,

You've been infected with the Blaster worm, which spawns random filename processes if one of them gets killed.

Do a search on Google for a Blaster removal tool, such as from Symantec, Sophos, etc., then PATCH YOUR BOX using Windows Update - specifically, the DCOM update.
