| 508345 | 2006-12-21 00:53:00 | Wasn't that felix thing something nasty?? Like spyware or something? I remember seeing, or hearing about it ages ago. It was some kind of cat animation thing. |

| 508347 | 2006-12-21 01:53:00 | I have 63 :p (but then my systray is about half my taskbar) I recall a thing called "Bonzi Buddy" which apparently had adware in it or something... |

| 508352 | 2006-12-21 03:45:00 | It would seem, from the replies, that the number of processes running does not affect the operating speed of the computer. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 508353 | 2006-12-21 03:49:00 | Hi All..... My computer has 33 running processes, Maryann has 38. Both using XP Home. How do we bring up a list of these so that we can see what is happening? Thanks. PJ Are you worried you have too many running? Or maybe I should say were you worried as your PC is rather stingy compared to the others on here. :p I have 36 running at the moment with half a dozen apps running along with Opera. |

| 508354 | 2006-12-21 03:55:00 | It would seem, from the replies, that the number of processes running does not affect the operating speed of the computer. PJ It does but if the machine is grunty enough to handle it there won't be too much of a problem generally, unless you want to run a very lean and mean machine. The type of processes running is just as important. Take Nortons for example - you have read untold times on here how much of a resource hog that is. HijackThis is a good tool for people to analyse what processes should and shouldn't be running. |
