| 231506 | 2004-04-23 23:20:00 | daom thats a lot of proccesses :p sry i meant the cpu usage average... it refreshes every second bt default, but you can go to view>update speed>paused to pause it, then let me know what the cpu usage % is (the 2 digit numbers) |

| 231507 | 2004-04-24 01:07:00 | You have got way too many items in your startup. Your first job is to prune it back drastically. ;-) | Susan B (19) | ||
| 231508 | 2004-04-24 01:21:00 | Yes i would say... by right clicking on the proccess, then clicking end proccess, end the following proccesses and see if that works... shareaza.exe mwsoemon.exe ppdt40nt.exe syntpenh.exe syntplpr.exe onetouch.exe atiptaxx.exe carpserve.exe trayserver.exe getright.exe After that, WITHOUT resterting the computer, go to housecall.trendmicro.com and select your location then click go and follow the directions. This will scan your computer for viruses from the internet, which means that viruses which may have crippled norton without your knowing, will most likley be caught and deleted/fixed. Jared |

| 231509 | 2004-04-24 01:49:00 | Ok :) Will try the ending processes and then the online scan.. also how do i "prune" my start up programs.... |

| 231510 | 2004-04-24 01:51:00 | just checked and all the processed listed above are going and CPU Usage is only 9%... for the execption of only one internet explorer going instead of 3 yesterday... |

| 231511 | 2004-04-24 01:57:00 | www.sysinfo.org Go to that place and see what you've got running and what it is and if you need it or not. Excellent thing to get familiar with. Most ppl's comps i have a look at have got the same prob. masses of pocesses running they haven't a clue what they are. HTH :) |
