What do these mean?

Viruses and worms

I see in my task manager some weird things that say that are run by ME.
Eg. igfxsrvc.exe igfxpers.exe

I don’t know these things and I certeinly think I didn’t run them.
I think if these things were OK they would be run by system and not by me…if you get what I mean.
I heard igfxpers.exe is some dangerous virus but nothing, absolutley NOTHING is wrong with my computer but I’m suspicous anyway.
I run Windows XP SP3, Avast found nothing. Everything is up t date everything seems working fine, as I said before but the two exe files above are VERY suspicious to me…

Again, I’m no computer expert and it might turn to be safe.
I just wanna double check as I heard somebody else had it too, here.
PLEASE HELP ME!!

Both igfxsrvc.exe igfxpers.exe are common user interface modules in windows, it is also not really neccesary for them to run at startup so you can go to msconfig/startups and untick the boxes, if you have ccleaner you can also disable startups with that too.

These are very often used as hiding place for Kolab malware. Do you have Intel graphics adapter?
