    Processes

    Currently I have 71 processes running at startup. Seems like way to many. Problem is that I don't know what function most have. Is there way to determine their function(s) so that I can eliminate some?

    MSconfig, Startup tab?

    Here is how to check msconfig
    Start/Run and type in
    msconfig
    OK
    Startup Tab

    Keep the page open then go to link below. It will tell you what all the entries are and whether you can disable them or not. It will also identify any malware. Disable everything which is not needed to run at start up

    Read the Key at top of page. Use the Search box at the top to check all your entries

    When you reboot you will get a message saying you have started in "Selective Startup" Click "Don`t show this message again" then OK

    Process Explorer is another good app for looking at what's running under the hood.
