Processes--Important?

[Apocalypse137]

Hey okay as we all do been tyring to get by school blocks and stuff like that sooooo i checked out the running processes and did research on each these were the ones that seemed to draw a red flag.

DF5Serv.exe --This is associated with Deepfreeze, a program that restores the original files to the computer every time the machine is restarted.

FrzState2k.exe -- this is another associated w/ deepfreeze, not sure why thers 2 but some programs hav a lot, panda antivirus on our school comps has like 8 processes running.

WM.exe -- This one seems wierd but lemme kno: The process listens for or sends data on open ports to LAN or Internet. wm.exe is able to monitor applications. . able to monitor app's...if u dont want ot be monitored then is this one to close or does that not mena wat i think it does?

and lastly:

zenrem32.exe -- this one is zenworks remote management, would be good to be able to close this down so admins cnat intrude and take over wat ya doin.... but odnt want to totally mess something up sooo?

Thanks just let me kno if comp may crash due to closing any of thsoe processes

I am tempted to close this topic because what you might be trying to do is probably against your schools computer policy and quite possibly illegal. If this topic continues on about how to defeat security i will delete it understand that.

I see you understand what DeepFreeze does, you can try to unfreeze the computer but you will probably break it.

The other running processes are probably used to remotely manage the pc's and have nothing to do with "get by school blocks".

These "blocks" you talk about are probably done at the network level that is web filtering etc. You might be able to proxy through your home pc I've seen this 'ignored' at schools before.

You can obviously try to close the processes using 'end task' but I doubt you have the system privileges to do that.

I would suggest you use a bootable linux live cd or bat pe cd if possible, it might give you some more options without causing trouble.

Apocalypse137, resist the urge to accomplish a prank to brag to your associates about, do your dirty work at home.

XP is very insecure. I've gotten around all of the access restrictions of all the public computers I've ever used, as far as I remember.

You needn't worry about DeepFreeze, it only acts to save the state and helpfully "clean up the evidence" when you're done with the machine - just reboot.
