Process name: Services Any
Product: Windows NT Resource Kits
Company: Microsoft
File: srvany.exe
Security Rating:

This utility allows the running of Windows NT™ applications as services.
The benefits of this include letting applications survive logoff/logon sequences, hence saving the overhead of re-starting them for each new user; allowing server apps to come-up and service requests even when no user is logged-on; and running and performing a task in a specific logon account, different from the currently logged-on user.

Note: Any malware can be named anything - so you should check where the files of the running processes are located on your disk. If a "non-Microsoft" .exe file is located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder, then there is a high risk for a virus, spyware, trojan or worm infection! Check it out!
