 Posted: 04/29/04 - 19:26 Post subject: How many processes are you running?
|
|
|
When you ctrl + alt + delete and bring up the Windows Task Manager, under the processes tab, exactly how many processes do you have running? I have 39 atm, and that seems a bit high to me.
Reason I ask is, i've noticed when I right click on my desktop, my "CPU Usage" (under the Performance tab of Task Manager), will jump up to almost 50%, trying to figure out what the hell is causing that...

27 including this browser, several anti-virus process, and a few systray things.
That does sound a bit high. Too bad you can't cut and paste the text from that window. Thank you Bill Gates.

If you have processes running and you don't know what they are, type the filename into Google. Chances are the first hit will be some description of what the process is.

30 processes. 0-2% here.
I'm assuming you have an HP computer based on a couple of those processes. You could probably ditch Backweb and most of those HP files, Pags. In fact, running Spybot will get rid of them.

24 processes, 22-37%. If I were to close EQ and all EQ related programs that would be down to 19 processes and probably 0-5% usage.

I wondered a liittle bit about that Backweb app you had running. From Nazzy's link:
| Quote: | BackWeb started life as push technology software which enabled you to subscribe to various information channels of your choice so that your selected information channels would pop up on your screen with the latest world news, entertainment news, etc…, whatever you might have chosen You can configure the original BackWeb to download the news for later viewing, to display the news as desktop background, ticker, or popup window.
This did not take off as well as expected and, crucially, it was also not paying for itself. As a result BackWeb quickly went into other markets, two of them significant ones. (1) Advertising adware where websites, ISPs, or software manufacturers include BackWeb on their site, in their ISP software, or in their software and, whenever you connect to the Internet, BackWeb also connects to retrieve advertisements which are then displayed on your screen or in your browser. (2) BackWeb is also routinely installed on new PCs by specific computer manufacturers with the aim being that BackWeb will automatically check for vital updates to the PC’s setup whenever the end-user connects to the web. Such manufacturers include Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, LogiTech, Kodak, although some or all of these may have stopped this practice at the time of writing of this entry (April 2002).
Recommendation :
Unless you are using BackWeb for news content, we strongly recommend de-installing it. It is often a serious resource hog, in most cases it is also advertising adware, it slows down your Internet connection, unacceptably if you connect by modem, and it has the potential for sending out information from your PC. De-install via the "Add/Remove Program" icon in the Control Panel, or disable with The Ultimate Troubleshooter. |
