I have about 60 processes running on my p.c. not sure which ones to delete?

i did what was suggested i.e. trying to delete some, but i wasn't totally sure what it was i was deleted and which then prompted my p.c. show a "restore point" did that, but naturally i'm back where i started with the 60 processes buzzing away. It naturally makes my computer so slow. any help would be much appreciated. e.g. smss.exe-isass.exe.svchost.exe.svchost

the best way to limit processes is to determine what is allowed to start when your machine boots. You can safely remove much unneeded material by doing the following:





start-%26gt; run -%26gt; msconfig -%26gt; startup





then go to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups which has a list of what can safely be removed from the list. You will probably find quite a bit of it can be removed. Bear in mind that the list is case sensitive, so you need to be mindful of the capitalisation when you compare whats in your list and what results come up at bleepingcomputer.





Then to kill off any processes when the machine is running use http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/03/13/...





Also, remember to check your start menu's startup folder, and to have a look at the preferences of each program in your system tray , some of which may be tweaked so that they dont start automatically when you start windows.
