When i go to windows task manager and look at processes it appears to me like there is lots that i have no idea what it is. I remember someone talking about a site that will tell you what each is. Does anyone remember it?

Thanks

Not sure if you haven't already done this, but you might want to run a spyware check on your PC. Spybot search and destry and Lavasoft's Adaware are both free and can do that for you also.

typing the name of the .exe into google will usually give you good reasults. if google can't find it, its most likely both new and bad.
