LOADWC is part of nortons antivirus (or related nortons program) its loading web check.. that will scan web downloads for virus before letting you/your system save them... whether you terminate or not is completely up to you... i personally dont have it running as it does take resources (in my opinion).. and as long as you force a scan on any file before you run it manually you will be fine for virus protection....as for the other two listed.. sorry i cant help you Christy Duncan *********** On 8/7/99 at 12:04 AM Joe Pearson wrote: >Win 95 4.00.95B with IE5.00.2014.0216 (but no active desktop) >Can anyone identify the following programs that often appear in the list >that ctrl-alt-delete shows? >Loadwc >Msgloop >Wsasrv > ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Forever trust in who you are... and nothing else matters!
