theres a WEIRD proccess under my "processes" tab in the task manager called dumprep, it just pops up randomly, and keeps eating up memory till it gets to about 400,000k then dissapears... i have no clue what it is, but it is driving me nuts...

btw, what is wwsecure.exe? i cant end it, its a "system" proccess, actually, there are quite a few processes that i am unsure of, heres a screen shot...Found on google as the first item returned during a search for "dumprep":

" dumprep.exe forms a part of Microsoft Windows XP (and later versions), in-built fault logging software. Upon serious errors this PROGRAM will write the details to a text file and request the information be sent to Microsoft. This program is a non-essential system process, and is installed for third party use. "

I don't know enough about the Dumprep process to tell if what you're experiencing is abnormal behavior, but atleast this gives you a place to start.

ALSO, I don't see any processes in your screenshot that look malicious.  I ran a search on a couple of them and, assuming you have specific hardware installed, they all look ok to me.  Remember though that malware and viruses can mimic legitamite processes to a point where the running processes tab doesn't give enough information to tell the difference.Dead_Reckon try to instal WinXP manager, he help you to identify all windows processes and force windows to close if you want this
