Hello.....I have read that the alg.exe, spoolsv .exe and vsmon.exe processes, are right if they are in this rute: windows\system32\, and they are all on this location, but I read that if they appear in other locations could be a virus, and yes, they show in other folders alg.exe shows in: c:\windows\system32 c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ c:\windows\prefetch c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 spoolsv.exe shows in: c:\windows\system32 c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$ c:\windows\$NtUninstallkB896423$ c:\windows\prefetch c:\windows\servicepackfiles\i386 c:\windows\$hf_mig$\KB896423\SP2QFE and vsmon.exe appears in: c:\windows\system32 (como vsmonapi.dll) c:\windows\prefetch (como vsmon.exe-1609C098.pf) c:\windows\prefetch\zonelabs c:\archivos de programa\zonelabs\zonealarm\repair is this normal or should I delete it from all files that aren´t system32? Thanks in advance
