616017	2007-11-28 15:20:00	Hey Guys, I am trying to clean up my computer. I took a print screen of my task manager. (Link at end of post) I don't really have anything checked when I do the whole, "msconfig, start up tab". But it seems I have a lot of processes running when I start up my computer according to Task Manager. Do you guys recognize some of these? Are they spyware? How do you recommend I get rid of some? I use adware pro (I think that's the name). Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you for your help. xs.to	bigmit37 (7537)
