Trying to keep as little running as possible, anybody any ideas what the average amount of running processes are with just the net on?
EDIT: Don’t know what to ask ‘GOOGLE’ 
No answer possible to this question. It depends on what you want to have running. 
Post your HJT log here and let us have a look.
EDIT:
You can start another thread but I will still see it ;D
Courage needed to try HJT trying to work up to it… ;D
HJT doean’t do a thing except for creating a log file. So you will always be safe unless you decide to let HJT fix something
Have downloaded HJT and Analyzer…just need to figure them out now :
I hope I have done this right…could do with a valium for just trying
