XxXoldsaltXxX Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 im trying to shave down the services/start-up apps i have, and im down to 8 services (got it working steady, with internet) 3 of em are for bitdefender, 1 zonealarm, rpc, plug n play, win audio, and workstation and according to spybot S&D, ive got 6 normal startup apps (trillian, another 3 for bitdefender [wtf?], zonealarm, and something for my sound card) but i look in task manager, and ive still got a freaking 19 processes.. some of you people have 15, with firewalls and stuff.. i dont know what else to disable.. should i ditch bitdefender? or do the other anti-virus programs hog services just as much?

dreamz Veteran Posted August 17, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2004 post a pic of your task manager so we can see what you're running. but 19 processes is perfectly fine.
