I don't think it is a trojan. Did you list it as a process name or as a window handle when listing all open files? If you listed as a process name then you probably don't know the name of the process for the exact program you want to see and if it as a window handle, then you should be able to get the process name from it.. Give more details, in the meantime i wrote a program similar to this in which i listed successfully all open programs and could even control the windows through their handles. I will see if i can dig it up.

some malware try to connect to internet by inject its process to browser and kill its process (ther is a lot of malware like this) , and when you search for it (use system analysis tool) you can find it as handle in internet browser .
so to detect all strange items I need to list all opened files in OS , OR list all process's handles .

It's very doable, but you may be in for a bit of a shock: Read these[^].

Then there's an article here on CP for it: Listing Used Files[^]
