Has anyone experienced this? Is this a worm?

I see "ntkrnl secure site" application appear and disappear. Not sure how this got there.

Based on a quick Google Search for NT Security Suite it is possibly a worm - do you run Skype? There is a Skype worm propogating since late december that is packed using the NT Security Suite.

I assume there are other legit things that use the NT Security Suite, but a trip to Trend Micro's online scanner might be in order.

Or Prevx as well, if you want.

There really should be anything trying to do that on startup, in any case.

I use a voice mail player from VocalData VML Player but nothing related to Skype.

PREVx worked! It detected Axs.exe running. So far so good.
