    Can anyone tell me what this process is?

    I have tried searching for it on my computer, and cna't find the exe. I have also searched teh web, and can't find out what it is.

    I did a clean install on my machine about a week ago, and this has been there since. I have AVG fully updated, and ZoneAlarm, and I am also behing a router w/firewall.

    I have run spybot, and ad-aware, and they don't remove it.

    Does anyone know what it is?

    Thanks.

    Do you have an Epson Stylus C82?

    Epson Stylus C82 Series
    e_s0hic1.EXE
    Required for an interface to some versions of MS Word to ensure that some fonts are printed correctly. Start it manually if required

    Got this from, http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup.../startup_e.php

    The best thing I've found to reasearch processes, is just type the full name of the process into Google, and your about 99.9% sure to find out what it is with a little research, it may not be the top hit, but its there.

    you know I think it may be catching, I always forget to attach images

    incidently thats not a service as such, it's a program which is started at startup. An easy way to find the .exe is to use something like msconfig, have a look at the startup lists and find the .exe's path.

    then you can right-click properties and usually the company will have it's details in the summary section

    Google is a funny old thing, it yeilds fantastic results but sometimes it needs an exact phrase, the writing off which is sometimes pot luck

    You know Doc, I have been doing this for years, and like an idiot, I forgot to open msconfig, and look for it. It was right there, and infact, had the printer name with it.

    I guess I'm having a "slow" day

    We all have those days. I've just got used to researching every process that runs on my computer if I don't know what it is. Too much **** going on these days, and I really don't want to lose my computer to a virus..... Too much important stuff!
