Can you tell me what it does and why you have it at startup?

Some programs run at startup so that they can be updated automatically, but if a person is mindful of their system updates can be carried out during scheduled routine maintenance. On all of my systems, I have only 3 programs loading at startup: MSE, Jaws and Auto-Sizer. What programs should be running at startup will vary from system to system.

Why in the name of sweet reason should it be on standby all the time! I'm as reluctant as anyone else to disable something I know nothing about, but that one seems particularly ridiculous.

Rather the amount of stuff that it is forced to process during the average cycle so far as programs running at startup ETC. Sadly to my way of thinking that most software venders believe their products are so important that they should run all of the time instead of only when needed. For example I use a program called web drive to send things back and forth to the server for you folks to download. A very important bit of software to me but only needed for a few minutes every once in a while. Yet south river technology thinks it should run all of the time which of course I refuse to allow. Therefore that saves my system a lot of resources which otherwise would simply go to waste. Oh it takes a second or so longer to load when I launch it but I'm OK with that minor cost of doing business.

I have a laptop and I am told that replacing the processor is not an option. How can I check my processor in case it has too much trash and that is part of the problem?

I mention this since I have a system here from a guy next door and he says for the past week more or less processor usage keeps hitting 100% with nothing running. I have removed a junk yard of temp files and worthless programs off the system but processor usage still peeks out once in a while. Honestly I have never seen disk cleanup remove 16.7 GB of for the lack of a better term trash. I also removed 39 programs from the system he no longer needs. So any thoughts on the matter boys and girls. David Ferrin A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.
