my ping

[Jonny Automatic]

adaware found like 50-60 things and 40ish were the "non harmful" thingies...
and I dont know where to find startup jazz..

theres a lot of processes here ...
I cut out my name so you can see what it sys/whatever faster

[BuLLeT]

yea 54 processes are alot to be running, i got 29 running on mine. to stop them google each process and see if its important or not, just by scanning throu quickly i can see at least 5 that can be stoped

ya that is a lot of processes.. but ya.. i see a bunch that arent really needed and i recognize from removing them on my pc..

and like bullet said.. searching for the process name on google will turn up a ton of results saying what it is, what programs use it, if its really needed at all.. and how to remove them (tho alot of sites now seem to no longer have info for removing them cause they want you to buy their lame ass programs to do it..)

HiJackThis would probably be able to remove some of them easily too... but if your not careful you can remove things that you need with it.. lol


download

if you want.. post the log or a screen shot of what that finds as it might make things a bit more obvious as to whats bad since it will show the filepath...

damn... that was the program i forgot to reinstall after i reformatted last


also Crapcleaner has a start up option to delete SOME of those processes.
But yea my ping on my laptop today has just randomly went up too, i herd some ISP'sare having issues in my region...

spybot has an advanced process manager.

google turn off unwanted services or something along those lines...itll help with conserving ram...faster bootup and etc as well

well all of those things are used by either windows itself/Ati/creative/AVG/programs like 3dsmax, wacom tablet ...ect... so nothing I should worry about... besides my machine speed isnt a problem...
