Computer Question
« on: April 28, 2002, 11:36:46 PM »
A while back someone on this board posted a website that listed many common programs that could be running in a computer's background and what they do (and maybe how to disable them if necessary.)  I tried to search this BBS, but could not find it.  Same for a web search.  Anyone here know of such a site?  Would appreciate the help.  (I have a few that run in the background that I have no idea what they do and what kind of resources they are taking up.)

The spyware discussion?

Look for a thread called "Kazaa" in the O'Club.. it's on the second page I think.

Adaware software is provided by the Lavasoft.org web site. Good stuff to clean out your computer from spyware.

he's talking about this I think...
it's a list of application abbreviations used by windows for running processes.
(so you know what you can shut down with CTRL_ALT_DEL)

Pick the TASK LIST on the right side.
Then search by letter.
