Programs in Task Manager

[Gandalf]

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if you could help me out.

I seem to have A LOT of programs in my task manager, any way I can delete them?


I have AdAware 5.62 and run it almost daily, so I have deleted all of those programs, but it looks like there may be more.

Most of those look like system or ie/msn programs. The rest of it looks like standard apps. There's only a couple of things on there that I didn't recognize.

I would recommend doing a search on google for anything that you don't recognize.

It's all about the CPU usage percentage. At idle, Folding takes almost all my cycles as you can see. Everything else is just sitting there using tiny amounts of RAM.

Thats the one using all my cpu cycles too. FOLD ON!
