When I run ad-aware to get rid of scumware, it says there's 10 programs running in the background(fresh from a restart), I've dissabled everything I'm sure about in msconfig from the run menu , but I'm not sure about what else I can take out, to minimize what's running in the back-ground. Thanks

Your pc will still work with NO ticks, however, I'd leave systray,scanreg, and any AV.firewall. Also check your start folder for things loading from there

All I have running is zone-alarm and pop-up killer, from the msconfig nothing I know of starts off the start menu.
but it still says 12 things running. 12 - zone,pop, and a true vector log(from zone alarm)still leaves 9 how can I find out what this is, or do they start with windows.I also
found when I boot up and check system monitor that it takes
192mg of ram right off the start(out of 512)I always assumed
that this was because of the high ram I have so it dosen't
use any swap file(less than 10meg at all times)is this correct. Thanks

hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and it will bring up the close program box, showing everything that is running, just highlight and press enter to close the programs.

Just shows what I know is running. So I'll assume that these
9 windows must need.
