Description:
windows.exe is a service which is registered as a trojan. This Trojan allows attackers to access your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system.
Note: windows.exe could also be added to the system as a result of W32.Feldor.A WORM. It attempts to spread itself through file-sharing networks and e-mail applications. This process is a security risk and should be removed from your system. If found on your system make sure that you have downloaded the latest update for your antivirus application.

Yep ! it's a virus ! I use Avast antivrus and it's excellent - found a trojan that Mcaffee didn't - and it's FREE !!!!
Also, you'll need a firewall : I use Zonealarm - also free but a bit difficult to set up at first - read the help files, etc ...
Good luck and good computing ...

Determining whether this process is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from in WinTasks
