Process name: Microsoft Office XP component

File: osa.exe
Security Rating: 1
"osa.exe" launches common MS Office components to help speed up the launch of Office programs. Some users claim there's no difference with or without it but it isn't required anyway. It is not Required at Startup. (Osa9.exe is the Office 2000 variant)
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!
