Issrvc.exe - is a process associated with the Light Scribe software from Nero AG. LightScribe Direct Disc Labeling is a disc labeling technology that enables you to burn silkscreen-quality labels directly on your CDs and DVDs. Disabling or enabling it is down to user preference.
Winlogon.exe -is a processor that deals window logon and related.
spoolsv.exe is a spooler program built into windows.

they are all legit
the 2 microsoft should be in
c/windows/system 32...if they are anywhere else..it could be a virus
viruses disguise themselves as legit programs..u was correct in seeking assistance but i believe u should leave these alone

Answer 3

IAANTMon = Intel Application Monitor (OK)
LSSrvc=Hewlett-Packard lightscribe service (CD burner)
WinLogon=part of Windows
Spoolsv=Windows print spooler service

i.e. none of the processes you named are malware.

You need to be running a decent antivirus and anti spyware application. AVG antivirus and Spybot Search & Destroy are two well-known freeware programs.
