That's a child of xdm. Ie, on my system, I have:
4199 ? S0:00 /usr/bin/X11/xdm
4201 ? S 95:49 \_ /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/auth
4323 ? S0:00 \_ -box.kitenet.net

how so? are you sure thats not disabled in BIOS?
can you describe the behaviour? maybe an example of what happens when you
try?

It disabled writing to my floppy disk, for one thing. The ppid points to
xdm. In fact, in top it reports its command line value as "xdm" instead
of (what you see in ps) "-:0"... which I figure is garbage.
Not that I'm an expert, but from what I gather, it is (at least) an MBR
virus, and therefor
What makes you think this is a virus? I don't think you would be able
to disinfect a Linux virus with 95. What is the process that is loading?
