Help!!

[Beaver]

I went out and bought Norton SystemWorks, ISecurity and Spy Sweeper and Still have funky programs running on my computer!!! When I start up there are 48 processes running, shouldn't it be like 30-35 with XP?

Is there a program that tells me what these .EXE processes are? For example, what is IE Host? I thought for sure a virus was causing this, but it doesn't detect anything.

When I go on the internet, shouldn't there be only one iexplorer running? Sometimes there are 3. I stumped.

Go to start -> Run -> type msconfig

now go to the last tab "startup" and uncheck everything except your Anti-Virus software and reboot.

Walla! No more programs, now run all the anti-spyware programs that are listed a few threads down from this one and you are allset
