I have been trying to run defrag and in task manager, there are multiple mmc.exe. I believe that it is a virus in disguise becuase many of my prgrmas have been malfunctioning and the problem is worsening.

MMC is a windows system file, but the file name is used by virii. Check the location of the file to insure whether or not it is the legitimate file, or not.

It's part of the windows defragger tool. Saw it in my process list when I paused my defragging, googled, it, NOT harmful at all. Unless of course it is a hidden version.

Expect it to blow up + 100mb and swamp your system.

i dunno what it does, apparently has to do with defrag and such. my computer constantly read 100% CPU usage, and lagged constantly until i terminated it. terminating it got rid of 95% of my cpu usage and now my computer doesn't lag at all.....
