processes

Hello, I am really not sure if it is the proper section for my thread but I don't see any better. I have the following problem: for some time my hard disk continually works even if I do nothing, even if no program is running. It is really annoying, because I'm not sure if there is some virus...

I recently noticed that my laptop has slowed down. When I checked the processes in task manager, I noticed the following: firefox.exe*32 chrome.exe*32 AvastUI.exe*32 skype.exe*32 yahoomessenger.exe*32 mbam.exe*32 This is most unusual. What's the ,exe*32? What does it do? Is it an infection? How...

OK, I should have known to be more careful when I removed some entries from autoruns. It is so maddening to have every software company on Earth trying to stick something on my computer and auto run it. Yes, they often do it without asking. Or ask about something else, then stick their junk...

I am in the midst of a several-day attempt to track down some strange behavior in Win7 Professional x64. My question today: When I open Task Manager to the Processes tab, the entries are still sorted by the last selection I made (which in my case is User Name). I want to see the processes in...

just noticed my computer is running its CPU's at 20-40%, heating up my CPU, due to the above program. I have windows 7 pro, and have not maybe any recent changes that I can recall. what to do? thanks.

I'm having random CPU spikes that I notice because the fans of my laptop start up. This has happened while browing the web, chatting through skype, using photoshop and sometimes while idling even. This laptop is new (a month and a half old), 8GB RAM, drivers up to date. Those programs should...

Hi. I have been googling and digging thru responses but i cant find an answer to this problem. Ever since I got this computer, I believe the hd has just constantly been reading. It's not extreme reading, just subtle clickclick every quarter second or so. I did a fresh install of w7 x64 just...

I closed IE 10 over an hour ago and I still have 4 IE processes running, no idea how long this has been going on, any ideas?

Using Resource Monitor I see that the following processes have constant network activity. I have very limited bandwidth available and I was wondering that if the following processes are not needed can they be turned off in the startup menu or through some other means? svchost.exe...

Occasionally, I run into a process that won't die, even though the associated app has been closed, and even using the Task Manager"s "End Process" or "End Process Tree" fails to effect the process. That only way I've found to kill it is by rebooting, but of course, that is often very...

I've been ignoring this problem for several months, but now I'm just about fed up. Basically, every 30 seconds some sort of FPS lag spike will happen, and it'll last for about 2-3 seconds. It doesn't just happen when I do a certain thing, it'll happen no matter what I'm doing while the computer...

Heyo! After some research, I'm pretty sure my problem is called Focus Stealing, I've looked at a bunch of forums/threads on the internet but each seem to have individual symptoms etc so the fix to someone's problem is not the same fix to someone else's. This is probably going to be a long...

Hi, i recently wiped my HDD and re-installed Windows 7, i then installed all the necessary audio and video drivers e.t.c My problem is that games that worked before the wipe have now stopped, such as Civilization 5, Command and Conquer and Dawn of War DirectX has been upgraded, my graphics...

My Windows 7 start orb doesn't work. It does nothing when you hover over it and you have to press the keyboard button with the windows logo on it twice for the start menu to pop up. Also, every once and a while, at least 5 or more Access Denied windows pop up for no reason. I believe I have a...

Hi guys! I have had this strange problem for a few weeks now and so far I can't figure out a solution or why it happens. When closing an application, the application's service (in the Windows Task Manager) doesn't end with the closing of the application like it should. This is happening with...

I've been having a lot of problems with my dell inspiron n5030 laptop with windows 7 64 bit and had to get a new hard-drive, plus do a clean install of windows 7. Now my laptop is running slow. I did some search and one site suggested I check my CPU. I did and it's very high, especially during...

Hi there! As you will see, English is not my first language (by far :tongue:) Some days ago I noticed after a couple of minutes I start mi PC, my CPU usage goes to a constant 100% , so I checked for viruses and such but MSE gave me nothing and neither Malwarebytes. Here's the weird thing, I...

Hello. Out of all my years of computing I've never heard of or seen this bug, but whatever it is, it's very frustrating. Whenever I select something go into the properties of something that has a selection, it basically disappears. Another one I discovered was that when I go into Task Manager it...

I have a laptop with a single core processor and 4 gigabytes of system Ram. It has no video card, but a video chip on the motherboard instead. This video chip has 336 MB of dedicated ram And uses up to 1.2 gigabytes of additional shared system ram for video memory. My goal is to slim down the...

Hi i'm paranoid i got a keylogger or malicious software in my computer for something i did, but the Antivirus did not detect anything wrong, also got recently Zemana antilogger just to be safe and seems everything is okay my question is: found two processes i don't know what they are or what...
