I checked www.sarc.com which is the symantec virus website (They make Norton Anti-
Virus)for each of your tasks. They were not found in the virus search engine. They probably have the most up-to-date lists around. Have you downloaded any software on your computer lately such as free games either on CD or from the net. You may have downloaded something that placed itself in the auto start. That would be why you see it even though you have not loaded it to run. It could be a game of some kind that your users have downloaded and are passing around. Try looking under add/remove programs on the control panel and see if there is anything in the list that mentions "pez". If so you can remove it from the desktop there.

"pezdownload" is indeed part of Kodak's picture software and "pinger" sounds like one of the multitude of ping/trace route apps that have been written by 3rd parties. Check for apps the users might have installed in Add/Remove Programs or in ProgramFiles.
