Please help.....

I was recently looking at my process list (Ctrl+Alt+Del on WIndows XP) and found a process called javaw.exe, it uses about 54,000k memory and I want to end the process and see what happens but I'm not sure if its a virus or something that if I end it will mess my computer up. Anyone know what this process is and if its safe to end???

Stinger, thanks for the help, but I'm unaware of any problems shutting my computer down, it just takes up alot of memory

Read the whole thing, not just the first couple of posts. Wealth of info and links there.

Also, with a quick search on that same site THIS came up.

If you're still curious, this SITE would have all the info you'd ever need on any of those Windows proggies running in the background. Enjoy, Black Viper knows his ****.
