When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

The other night I activated my computer at 2:45am when nothing should have been happening. I saw the taskmanager was indicating 100% CPU usage. In the process window two processes named "lube??ymailproxy.exe" were running, but shut down with in a second or two of my activation. What is this process? Spy-bot, Adaware, CCleaner, Advances Windows Care, and Norton do not indicate any problem, but what was the process and why was it running. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

The place to start would be your scheduled tasks to see if there is any thing scheduled to run at about that time.

Start, Control Panel, Performance and maintenance, Scheduled Tasks. There should be a list of all scheduled jobs and the time each task is scheduled to run.

I would run a Trend Micro Housecall scan to see if anything can be found. What to do next would be based on the scan.
