Guest Jack Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I've got these processes on the subject line (task manager). Aren't they really wield? because java.exe and perl.exe don't have to be resident all the time. But those processes are occupying 10M to 100MB of my RAM? Any comments are welcome.. Are they just trojans or viruses? Thanks Jack
Guest Jack Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Re: perl.exe oracle.exe and java.exe And also some of my programs are growing extremely large. My Nod32 occupies 30-40MB of my RAM... and this is fine because I installed it myself and is believed to be that large. But some are unexplainable... I've installed Oracle, but I don't think java.exe and perl.exe need to be resident all the time.... Thanks Jack
Guest Jack Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Re: perl.exe oracle.exe and java.exe Now that they are shrinking to extremely small. 80K for PowerISO? 70% of my program go below 100K? Some registries are called "Location Awareness" what are they? Thanks Jack

Perl is a script language program. Oracle is a database program. All are valid programs that can run on a pc and are no trojans or viruses. That said I also should say that any .exe can be infected. So if you have AV software and are not getting alarming notices, your fine.
