Using ad-aware it says I have 27 running processes, this seems like alot. I use xp ... is there anyway I can find, identify and shut down any processes I do not need?

Thanks in advance,

Gigg

Gigg,

Check out this website for processes: http://www.answersthatwork.com

You will have to navigate around the site. Find the tab that shows processes and you can find alot of them pertain to your O/S.

I had this problem too about a year or so ago. I now run Windows XP with 16 processes.

Start/run/type in

msconfig

If your running XP, there is a processes tab.
It will show you exactly what is running at any given time.

Be very careful what you mess with in here.

I use this little jewl to do a final wash of services and dependancies as well as "defragmenting" and "reallocating" the blocks of memory in RAM.
Showed me a bunch-o-useless-stuff-to-turn-off that Task manager wouldnt.
It then launches AHII and ends.
Of course...Free.
Two thumbs up:aok
