I have been working on a few desktop PC's lately trying to get the number of processes running down to the early 30's.

I have seen a few laptops lately with over 60 processes running ! What would be a good target number for the average laptop that goes on the net ?

731035 2008-12-19 19:25:00 Well uninstall what you dont need, and they'll probably go down

I've got 53 at the mo lol

If I didnt use Itunes (4), avast (3) paintshop (1), malwarebytes (1), java (1), the webcam (2), lightscribe (1), the ati drivers (1), nitropdf (1), bluetooth (2)
the printer (2), it'll be more like 34
