UPDATE:

I found the culprit thanks to grey magic's link.

It was in the Kodak Easy Share folder
where I installed my digital camera
from Kodak.

False Alarm !!!

BIG STAR for grey magic from me
thanks buddy

whew !!! now I can breathe easier.

I never saw this process run before
and I'll admit it startled it me real good.
Thanks for the help from everybody.

Now I know why it was running when the
SCSI Service was turned off. It was launched
from the Kodak program instead of an
individual one.

My apologies for the false alarm.

however others may not have that software
so their solution may be different.

Better it be a false alarm rather that some clandestine program.

nice

most def
but there are others here with the same
process and they may not have Kodak
Easy Share. So the solution may not
help them.

I am still hunting mine down...sounds harmless though...so that is a relief.

I don't have kodak but I do have some other stuff I need to check out.

Nice to hear it's not malicious though...I will turn off my panic switch now.

I still do not understand why windows search
could not find the exe file in the directory
structure ???? quite unusual !!!!
No answer to that question.

That's cool.
I don't plug my easy share in, I use the sd card instead.
Still, I have yet to opt-out of dell security services/back-up service that I don't need or use...

Check your email, eh?

I don't understand that either.

I found my culprit also...it was hiding in some photo editing software.

When you said Kodak it made me think about pictures...and there it was in Canon.

What I dont like about Fire wall programs.
is it has a list of programs that it lets go by the firewall.
so microsoft and all them letter gov agencies
set it to let them go over the firewall.
its hard to find a fire wall that lets you stop them ALL.
then add what you need.
I have played with comodo firewall, free.
and you seem to be abele to stop them all.
its hard work to.
and you need to keep an eye on what you stop.
any one know a good fire wall to stop them all?

See? There ya go!

"1) How did it get on my machine ??? YOU PUT IT THERE WITH INSTALLING A NEW TOY
2) Who installed it ??? YOU DID
3) Who wrote the code and why ??? THEY DID...IT CAME WITH THE KODAK THINKY YOU PUT IN
4) Was I a target for this hidden access ??? TARGET? WHAT TARGET?
5) And why the HELL didn't my Norton Security warn me or catch it as it just ran a full system scan last evening ??? YOU WASTED A SCAN? DONT BE SO PARANOID! IT KNEW IT WAS YOU AT INSTALL OR PLUG IN...NOT A NEFARIUS INFILTRATOR
6) And where is my PC data going to that is sent via this scsi access ??? PROBABALY TO OPERATE THE KODAK THINY...you bought...plugged in...installed. GEEZ!

Boon, buddy. What is the real reason you're freaking out?
Why are you so alarmed by something that probably communicates with a printer program or Dropbox, or...something else most likely harmless?
Why all the emphatic panicking?
Just asking.

I do not have a SCSI printer.

And you say don't panic ??

What would you do if u woke up
in the middle of the night and there
were intruders in your house ???

I stand by my "Don't Panic".
And you compared this to someone breaking into your house in the middle of the night.

Kodak Easy Share.
Kick their ass, man! Don't allow those bad programs in YOUR machine!

Yes, I am mocking.
Gives me a real perspective on everything I've read that you've written.

You are a panicker. Check.

in this particular case

however, there's always the
next conspiracy right around
the corner.

I would rather panic and find out there was nothing to panic about...

Besides...who doesn't need a little blood pressure check every now and then?

Well good friend? Its always good to be on ones toes...and look out for the little guys (us!!) Never a bad thing to bee aware!
