My computer is currently running a process callrd wdisk.exe. It's killing my CPU and everytime I try to end the process it just pops back up. Does anyone know what this is or were I can find it to delete it? Any suggestions or help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Can any one help???
Have you do a spyware scan with Ad-Aware and Spybot?
Have you run an virus scan?
What OS are you running? I ask only because the thing that turns up in a Google search is something about BSD and having it on a boot floppy.

I just ran Norton, Ad-Aware and Spybot and it has seemed to help. Usally I run these once a week but I guess I should run it more. I tried the google search too but didn't find anything that helped me out. Thanks for the help.

Try pestpatrol. It has found things that the others haven't, but if you want to clean it up, you have to buy it, but it's free to use for a scan to see what it finds.

Nice thing about PestPatrol, if it doesn't something with the free scan you can look it up on PestPatrol's site to find out how to manually remove it.
But I do think it's lame they let you scan for free but you have pay to clean.

After using Norton, Ad-Aware, and Spybot it has seemed to get under control. Its still coming up in my task manager but its not running. Thanks for everyones help. When I ra Norton it came up clean. And all I had on Ad-Aware was the normal tracking crap. I dont know...if it comes back effecting my CPU then I'll try the pest patrol.

I wouldn't mind testing it.

If it's in your taskmanager, it's running.

If it's still popping back up, it's still on your computer and the problem may get worse. And if those other programs don't get rid of it you may end up having to manually delete that, along with any registry entries that keep it going.

I have a program called RegCleanr that was free before it became JV16 PowerTools or something like that and started costing money. It's a very easy-to-use registry cleaner, and you can see registry entries that have programs starting up with Windows; chances are, that program is starting when Windows starts, and you'll have to get rid of that startup registry entry and restart before you go any further.

I'd go ahead and look for any other registry entries that have to do with that program and delete them as well, though it's dangerous to delete random entries.

Last of all, it'd be best to run a search for that program (with the option to show hidden files and folders) and delete the actual .exe. Sometimes they're in Program Files, right before your eyes.

This one is nasty. I found it in the c:\winnt\repair folder. You can't delete it because it's always running. On shutdown it adds itself to the run key in the registry so even if you delete its reference it will re-write it and start itself up on next reboot anyway. I finally kicked it on a W2K PC by putting kill.exe and wait.exe in the root of C: and writing a batch file that called them alternately over and over. While the batch was running I attribed it -H -S, renamed it, replaced it with a text file renamed to wdisk.exe then moved the renamed real exe to another folder and then was finally able to delete it. Then for good measure I attribed the fake wdisk.exe +H +S. So far so good.
