[Web4lib] finding invisible processes on a PC

[John Fitzgibbon]

Hi,

I have a PC that is suddenly running incredibly slowly. It is an OPAC machine which is set up to access only one Web site using Public Web Browser. It also runs Win U Desktop. When I turn off both of these applications the machine continues to run very slowly. It is constantly writing to the hard disk (I can hear it and the green light is flashing). When I check using Ctrl + Alt + Del there are no applications running.

The Anti Virus software shows nothing. Is there a way to check if there is an invisible process running on the PC? If somebody planted a root kit on the PC where would it show up? The PC runs Windows XP.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
John
