Not necessarily.  These tools are often part of a rootkit, which would
naturally hide itself.  In fact, they usually load as part of the OS
kernel, and not as a process.

Ahh, I see...I obviously have a lot to learn.

I did a -little- reading at rootkit.com about rootkits and dll injection and wondered if there are any "recommended" 
detection
programs for Win2K/XP Pro?
