I noticed my computer was amazingly slow, I use a Windows XP-and I've been taking very good care of it. I lent it to my friend for a while and I found that my firewall was down O_O. not good. I ran a virus sweep-nothing. I use McAffe. one or two spyware but nothing to be mentioned.

I looked on my task manager (ctrl alt dlt) and HOLY CRAAP. hehe. I had around 1,000 drwtsn.exe programs running under the category network service. There are still other programs running-my startup.

I also get a popup box when I'm in the desktop saying my virtual memory was low. well-with all these dr wtsn programs I guess that would be obvious.

help anyone? I can't use my comp at all-i have it disconnected from the internet incase it's some hacker or some crap. using my laptop right now.
thank you.
