Double Click on the services and see what they are and what directory
they are running from.


thanks for your quick reply!

i downloaded the application and ran it, i'm not too sure what i'm looking
for and so i have uploaded an image of the running application:

all of the services seem to be running either from ..\system32\ or
..\program files\ and i do not see anything out of the ordinary...

Good job with the image. I don't see anything untoward. Perhaps there is a
conflict between Ewido and BlackIce since BlackIce has been problematic for
many people.

Take the machine off the Internet so you will be protected and do a
clean-boot. I'm guessing that either Ewido or BlackIce is the culprit and a
clean-boot will help narrow that down. If neither is running and the .tmp
files aren't created, then add one of those programs and test...etc.
