You have task manager set to run automatically using a known bot run name .

I can make it miss MS files in the next version but I would be interested to know why you have task manager set to run at boot ?

Processes have been using an unusually high amount of CPU (on this one particular system -- which, so far as I can tell, is virus/malware/rootkit free), and so at some point, I decided to auto-launch task manager to keep an eye on things. It's been a while... so i'm not sure how I did it... perhaps via WinPatrol, adding taskmgr to its startup tab??? Is there another way I should arrange for it to auto-start? or should I just remove the auto-start?

You just had me worried for a minute :)

I was about to remove it from sdfix after seeing your post but thankfully it doesnt remove that run value under HKCU, it does get filenames by checksums or strings then removes the run keys for them but not the other way round like you mean

Keep up the great work guys, your doing an amazing job
