Re: Why is winlogon taking too much memory?

Could be a virus, or a hacking program, maybe.

I only have the remote control (2 connection) terminal services running on
the web servers from remote administration. Typically only I would terminal
service into the boxes. I failed to report that my services.exe process is
also eating up over 400 MB as well. I used sysinternal's process explorer
to see what's going on but it did not reveal much.

Any ideas?
