Chapter 20 Projects 20-2, 20-3, 20-4.

Project 20-2
I've used AVG for a free years now but I had a heck of a time with this project. I was unable to install AVG because on install it said it I had to delete Zone Alarm first. When I deleted Zone alarm I ended with an error and upon reboot found my internet connection drives messed up. so I was unable to hook up to the internet. A system restore to earlier in the same day worked, but took some time. After I got that sorted I was able to install AVG. The first scan took over an hour. My scan did not find any virus not surprised because this is a fresh install. A scan is something best done over night.

Project 20-3
This project is to research 10 running processes.
avgmfapx.exe: part of the AVG anti-virus helps install updates
explorer.exe: Windows OS file runs and has a graphical user interface so that you can see when you are opening hard drives or files.
avgui.exe: part of the AVG anti-virus.
taskmgr.exe: file used to launch Windows Task Manager
jusched.exe: process installed alongside Sun Microsystem's Java suite and checks for Java updates.
winlogon.exe: process belonging to the Windows login manager.
ForceField.exe: belongs to ZoneAlarm.
