Hi,
Got 2 questions.

1)I have 68 to 71 processes going in Task Manager.
I know that has GOT to be too many. How do I know which processes to end? Obviously you don't want to shut down the ones that say "SYSYTEM" beside it. Right?

I have Windows Vista. (I love it. Have had NO problems) Let me know if you need to know anything else.

2)I'm afraid to clean my computer myself and it needs it. I have an air compressor but I don't know how hard of an air stream it produces and I don't know where to blow and where not to.
How trustworthy are the "GEEKS" at Best Buy? Should I trust the GEEKS to clean my computer? My computer is my baby and I don't know who to trust.

Thanks. Take care.
:love:

some are windows critical processes and are required some are not you can configure a bunch of them by going to start > run and type in msconfig and the the startup tab and click the check box at the bottom to hide all the Microsoft software and check off the ones you don't need.
