is this virus/malware?!
hi

I just found out that i have 2 proceses called AppleMobileDeviceService.exe and IpodService.exe in the Ctrl+alt+del menu
(dont remember what its called) under processes.
the wierd thing is that I don't have Itunes opened - or anything else having anything to do with
apple's iphone, ipod or stuff like that. another wierd thing is that the username is System. (see pic in attachment)

now I just wonder if this could be the work of malware og a virus.. but I don't have any problems on my pc! just wondering

Open Start Menu / Administrative Tools / Services , you may see them both there?

If you don't see Administrative Tools, then right click on the start button / Properties / start menu customize and enable it ( its at the bottom of the list )

I can't say you don't have an infection but I do know that itunes leaves processes running even though you're not using itunes, apple, etc but if the ipod service is deactivated then that should stop it from running.
