> I personally think that everyone should know what's running in their task list. Maybe I'm paranoid about it, but I try to run a pretty lean system (not much in the sys tray, etc.). One reason, is that my box at home is pretty out-dated, so I need every ounce of power I can get. The side effect it has is that it helps me sniff out problems like this one, not to mention if all of a sudden the computer starts acting strangely, like a virus may have someone gotten in, I can check to see what's going on.

You're not paranoid. I have seen too many machines under zombie master control.
