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!

Tw34k its not a virus, though it could be used as a trojan. It is a network program we use at school to mess with other kids, it allows you to connect to other computers and view what they are doing and even take over their computer. its not exactly 100% dangerous, but if you notice strange mouse movements check your computer for VNC. this program is similar to LogMeIn (www.logmein.com)  See also: Link
