Question
Task Manager
Task Manager  
Hi. I just got rid of a horrible virus called "XP Internet Security 2012" for the second time. Well, I followed some online instructions that helped to remove the virus, using "MalwareBytes," and "SuperAntiSpyware."

Now, something is still on the computer, because there are some weird looking programs showing up on my task manager, all beginning with B53VUW. I have no idea what that is. Additionally, when it randomly pops up, it slows down the performance of my computer. A few weeks ago, I also removed "System Restore/Data Recovery" from my computer as well.

I have attached an actual photo of my task manager, and the weird programs that continuously appear. I hope you can view it. You will see b53vuw, and some other ones that look just like it with random characters.
