Does anyone know of a site that tells what certain files are that are running in Task Manager. (ie pa.exe)
Something similar to filext.com that tells what extensions are affiliated with what programs.

might try answersthatwork.com there is a database on that site about task manager programs. example from their site alphabetically: task name = absr absr.exe is an auto broswer component of the backdoor.autopder virus. W2dgsmgr = w3dbsmgr.exe database service manager for pervasive SQL 2000 workgroup edition. Also called the database engine or the microkernel engine.

handy site and if you run across something that isn't in their database, they encourage you to submit it.

you can do a internet search on IE using MSN for the key words "task manager files" and answersthatwork.com should be the first on the listing shown.
