task list programs

I have several programs listed in the task pane and don't know what they
are...can someone help? Also having probs. with OL express 6, very slow.

apvxdwin
egyfzbpc
opagtz32
oddc32gt

Apvxdwin is part of Panda anti-virus (which I hope you have)
I have no idea what the other three are but they look like random
virus names to me.

Can you confirm that you are using Panda and have it up to date?

First pick one of these to identify what loads at boot. Next, see
whether there is an option in it's menus to disable it from starting up.
If you really want to rid yourself of it on a more permanent basis, then
look for it in "Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs". However, it isn't
often easy to know what is what in there. One of these URL's may say.
Only last, go to StartUpCop.

http://www.pcmag.com/ 's StartUpCop has "undo", and it is more than a
combination of "START, Run, MSInfo32, Software Environment, Startup
Programs" and "START, Run, MSConfig, Startup tab". It can even do a
permanent delete. Of course, first see whether the app has an option in
it's own menus to remove itself from the Startup Group. This is
configurable, and one may maintain multiple configurations.

Update definitions & check for viruses, and...

APVXDWIN may be a genuine file.
ODDC32GT may be a genuine file.

EGYFZBPC is almost certainly a virus.

OPA(anything) is possible related to OPASERV
AKA OPASOFT virus
