5. Analyzing Data (continued) <-- Previous Next -->

Miller is interested in the processes and programs that Wallace is running on his machine. It's possible that Wallace is running some illicit programs to carry out the suspected credit card theft. Miller decides to examine the most recently started programs first, as they are the most likely to be used for illicit purposes. Longer running processes are more likely to be system processes used for legitimate purposes. On the Running Processes screen, shown in Figure 10, he clicks (twice) on the words "Start Time" at the top of the last column in order to sort by that column in descending order.
