Issue: RAT (just checking)
Question(s): What are the main .exe that would be running on my task management
Any additional information: Are all rats the same types of .exe apps running.
No, not all rats are the same type of .exe's in task manager.
They can really be any of them but some of the more common ones are: winlogon.exe, Jusched.exe, csrss.exe, explorer.exe, svchost.exe, rundll32.exe and spoolsv.exe.
Question: Can the R.A.T'er control your computer while you're installing Windows 7 in a booteable USB? I just deleted ALL the content on C: + reinstalled fresh W7 for stay 100% secure, and made B: with a backup of all my content that I wanted to save. So, now am I fully secure?

It is definitely possible for you to still be potentially infected. If the RAT spread to other files such as the ones you backed up then you would only be putting yourself at risk again.
However it is unlikely and I'd say you shouldn't be too worried, especially if you did a fresh install.
