Hi This can be tough to answer without knowing all your software. but with the added security in firewalls and anti-virus a new side is shaping up. that is the spyware side and there are some pretty nasty ones that are installing without your knowledge. I have Installed and have used
AdAware version 5.62 ($15.00 licensed) you can get a free version, but I recommend the licensed because of the added always running utility called adwatch) http://www.lavasoft.de This will get rid of any baddies, before you have to try to figure out the rest of what is running ;-) Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized WiTango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WiTangoGoodies.htm latest beta downloads @ http://www.witango.ws -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of MJS Sent: Monday, February 25, 2002 8:47 AM To: Rbase List Server Subject: Off topic, win 98 stuff Does anybody know all about the programs that are running in the background on Win98? Are they all necessary? Is there a place to look that up? When I do a 3 finger salute, I see all sorts of programs running, even multiple times, and I see these same files running on different computers, so I presume it is related to the OS, but I don't know what is safe to turn off!
