Default Something is scanning my system, probably spyware in Firefox.

It happens from system process.

It reads DLLS and all kinds of other crap it has no busy reading this.

192 kb/sec per file... it's quite taxing on my system and quite annoying.

My best guess it's Firefox secretly scanning installed programs ?!

Bye,
Skybuck.
