Memmain reports a process running on my x50v (A03) called NX.EXE (0 bytes).
I've not noticed it bofore. A google search looks a bit worrying - talks of a keylogger !?!

anyone know ehat it might be?
Thanks
Paul.

EDIT: I have something by the name of NK.EXE (not NX.EXE)

Hi Tancerman, Good to know I'm not alone. I work for the world's #4 anti-virus company, and I get paranoid about any processes I don't understand. When google talks about keylogging, I get really worried - particularly as I use my axim for banking......
Any know what NX.EXE is???

This is true - However it has to start somewhere - like I say I'm in the industry and I see how fast it moves....anyone else have this process running?
I uxse RDcalc, memmaid, dell GPS, msn messenger, total commander, beta player, ie -- that's about it

tancerman

I don't know if you saw my edit above, but I don't have a process called NX.EXE, I do have one called NK.EXE.

LOL -- you're right - it's late - I've got NK.exe (can't read!!). Well that's a relief - I've just changed all my banking logons :)
Like I say I'm paranoid!! Thanks tancerman. So what's NK.EXE - memmaid doesn't want to terminate it......
Seriously though, I'm sure it won't be long before PPC viruses are commonplace.....

probably nothing, just some type of system file...

FlyACL

Kernel and it is a required system process. We all have it running.

Thanks Adam
that's what i need to know :)
So - out of interest, does anyone run any AV software on their PPC - I don't, but probably should given my level of paranoia......
Best
Paul

nope. i think that if the pda didn't have a built in way of restoring and removing all files (hard reset) of this sort, i might think about it but for no way
