W.Explorer SENS process (All)

[gangsta]

Whenever I start windows, checking on what threads Windows Explorer is using in the background always shows these four as part of the list:

SENS
W95 RPC Wmsg Window (I have 98)
OLEChannelWnd
class: WorkerA

I recognize the OLE & RPC, but what do I need these for, and what exactly are the other two?

I recall reading about an SNES virus, but this is SENS, obviously it is not a Nintendo game system or emulator, so what is it?

According to the sens.dll file:

System Event Notification Service (SENS)

From the typelibrary contained within that file...I can't decypher it, but It seems to be a normal process:

SENS WinLogon Events
SENS Network Events
SENS ON NOW Events

It's a hidden window and there are others that are normal. OutlookExpressHiddenWindow and InternetExplorer_Hidden.

WorkerA is the spinning globe in Internet Explorer.

Are you being hacked, I don't think so.
