| 222724 | 2004-03-15 20:42:00 | With several XP machines to lookafter, I confused by the number of process and what their cryptic titles are about. With no apps running, I seem to have nearly 20 processes up and running. Is there a link available as to what there are. Cleaned a friends PC last night, saw he had one procss dedicated to getting the PC to a porn site - go in now.exe (I think it was titled) I need some enlightenment. Thanks.................. John W |

| 222726 | 2004-03-15 21:02:00 | Another good website to visit is www.blackviper.com | tommy (2826) | ||
| 222727 | 2004-03-15 21:10:00 | Note that Black Viper's website appears to be down at the moment. | tommy (2826) | ||
| 222728 | 2004-03-15 21:12:00 | Sorry John, the first link wasn't what I was after but this one may help as well Sysinfo (http://www.sysinfo.org/). The Black Viper site Tommy has posted is excellent. As per usual, back up before making major changes. Cheers Murray P |

| 222730 | 2004-03-16 12:54:00 | Go to Gibson Research (http://grc.com/). He has Shoot the messenger( not MSM) and UnPlug-n-play (Universal PnP). Two sevices that I disable immediately and should never have been enabled in the first place. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 222731 | 2004-03-19 11:14:00 | My XP is running 31 processes at the moment. A lot of them are futile as the Fire Wall stops them getting out. From time to time I go through the msconfig start up file & deselect unecessary items. |

| 222732 | 2004-03-19 11:17:00 | Mine shows 20 processes, incl the browser to type this, firewall and avg. Usually 20 - 24 depending on what I am doing. J :D |

| 222733 | 2004-03-19 19:13:00 | >>> how many Processes should there be running Well my machine has 35 processes running, so obviously that's the answer to your question. 35. (based on the fact that my machine functions flawlessly, and is set up exactly how it should be) :D :D :p :p Mike. |
