You really have way too much confidence in those two programs.
So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?

I want you to know right away that I just subscribe to Cloudmark three
weeks ago. Also McAfee has been running on my XP Professional for a year.
Since my schedule is tight tomorrow, I will do on Sunday and Monday what
you have suggested i.e links that you mentioned.
Thanks. Alan

Perhaps this posting should be at other topic; different newsgroup.
Perhaps somebody here can give assistance.
Outlook Express is darned slow at email retrieval.
I later realize internet explorer is just as slow..too slow at launching
and finding internet links.
I copied and pasted from sytem information - Software Environment -
Running Tasks..
Below is the list of Running Tasks.. there are too many questions to
ask you, but i will start with first two questions..
1) Why are some programs not available? like svchost.exe
2) Why are there several programs have same name: svchost.exe?
The list is not quite in an orderly readable format even though it was
copied and paste properly..probably because the outlook express does not
have WORD formatting.
Neverthless, I really beg your help because this dell machine has been
extremely fast over two years. Wonder what is happening. Looks like I
lost some system files in Running Tasks.

You have some form of spyware on your machine IMHO.
Domainwatch.Exe is listed here as such:
http://66.249.93.104/search?q=cache:...n&ct=clnk&cd=1
Have you installed any third party tools recently, spam blocker, toolbars
etc if so remove them.
Rule out malware infection:
Get CWShredder and run it:

Review the information he
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm
Get Spybot S&D, and Adaware, update and run both of those too.
Also HijackThis!, follow all the instructions to get genuine help.
I would also remove McAfee and install AVG Free Antivirus, use custom
install, and disable email scan.

Or at least disable the email scan sections of McAfee, they provide no
extra protection.
svchost.exe is Windows process.
