SOCIOPATH Posted January 19, 2011 ID:376241 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Ok about 2 years ago, i had read a forum on this site that using MVPS HOSTS file is a good idea. So i followed all the instructions and added the file in etc.I forgot that after adding the file though that i noticed i have 9 exe files running in my task manager processes. Some are are under the user name SYSTEM and some are LOCAL SERVICE. Is this normal or should i go about uninstalling the MVPS HOSTS file and maybe redoing it??I am just curious as to if it is normal to have that many exe's running with mvps hosts. Also if i should uninstall it, can i have some detailed step by step instructions? Thanks for your time !!P.S. - I am running Windows Xp. If you need me to run any checks etc to make sure this is normal let me know !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted January 19, 2011 Root Admin ID:376299 Share Posted January 19, 2011 A lot really depends on what all you're running. My system is running 13 instances of it right now but I'm running a few network applications in the back ground.If you're concerned then I would update MBAM and do a Quick Scan and see if it finds anything or not.
