192959 2003-11-18 18:35:00 I've mixed a few around so there's just general listings instead of having everything over the place, so yeah.

> C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\ System32\svchost.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE

> C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\System32\nvsvc32.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\system3 2\slserv.exe
These are system services (svchost) or other required files needed by Windows - Especially Explorer! If it's even possible to delete that in Windows then you'll end up having to restore it from the Installation disk (generally find it, copy it back to C:\Windows and your machine will work)

> C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton AntiVirus\navapsvc.exe
> C:\Program Files\Norton SystemWorks\Norton Utilities\NPROTECT.EXE
> C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NORTON~1 \navapw32.exe
Norton Antivirus Protection Server, Norton Protect and Norton Antivirus AutoProtection Wizard (IIRC). All are required by Norton to run

> C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe
> C:\WINDOWS\system32\Z oneLabs\vsmon.exe
ZoneAlarm Firewall and other services required by it.

> C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe - Internet Explorer, if you want to remove this (if it is possible), remove it from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel

> C:\PROGRA~1\WINZIP\winzip32.exe - Winzip, safe to remove (as said remove from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel)


Moving onto the Registry Keys. Generally speaking don't touch the registry if you don't know what you're doing or you don't have an available backup of it as you can end up causing more damage than good.

These are all parts of the download manager FlashGet

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NvCplDaemon] RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup - Uh, yeah, Don't touch this

O4 - Global Startup: ZoneAlarm.lnk = C:\Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe - Makes ZoneAlarm run on Startup

Got other things on my mind, that should be Norton Antivirus Protection Service
