    pnkbstra.exe comes with a lot of games. It's anti-cheat software. If you're not playing one of the games on this list, then I'd probably remove it. http://www.punkbuster.com/

    Sidebar.exe has to do with all the gadgets and crap in Vista. It's a default process. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...r-gadgets.aspx

    The crap in Russian....beats me. That most certainly needs to be looked deeper into and probably removed.

    Any tips on how I could look further into it? I wouldnt have a clue how to search for it since I havent any idea on the cyrillic aplphabet.... But yeah, that was the one that had me most concerned, especially after an article I read about a large Ukrainian company, doing some buiseness in the U.S. was sued by the government, since really all it was doing was scareware and selling computers out to botnets or something. (Made me think of Borg from Star Trek lol)
