ctfmon is also in there its the next 1 down u cant see

cheers again dont no *** i would do without you!!
 
dont no how 2 crop them lol as for the raid option i dont even no *** it is so i can say i dont think i use it and as for river tuner i have saved a profile from there which controls my fan speeds so if i disable that will that stop that profile from loading up to?
 
i just opened msconfig then preseed print screen pasted it in paint then i did not no *** u mean by trim the image im so sorry 4 sounding silly but these little things im no good at lol
 
i have avg anti virus and avg anti spyware installed they are both the free versions so the anti spyware has no real time protection as it is so should i get rid of them both? i have windows defender 2 for spyware so is that a good spyware program do u think?

sorry for wasting your time mate im sure your a busy guy and i do really appriciate your help here i mean it you really are a star!!
 
having a well earnt rest *** i like 2 hear!! i will uninstall both avg apps then and spybot i heard is very good so i shall go for that i think.

that will give me a security setup of comodo firewall with nod32 and spybot along with windows defender and a lot less proccess hows that sound mate
 
just downloaded spy bot and installed and already my proccess are running at 30 not bad i must say is there any good setting you could reccomend to me 4 spybot? just ran my 1st scan 2 and the only thing that came up was that microsoft security was disabled but to be honest i never use it do you? still not sure weather 2 get spyware blaster to?
 
got spyblaster as well seems to be running well there is 1 more quetion id like to ask you and i mean it really is the last 1 lol i dont see spybot or spyblaster in the system tray and everytime i open them run a scan then close them it looks like they shut down and i cant seem to find them in the proccess tab in task manager are they actually running in the background do you no does your do this?

thanks a million again for your help today im finally all sorted and well protected you are a true star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
you deserve to blush u been wicked so i dont actually need to set any thing up the spyware programs just run in the bk round and will pop up if something tries to get in also with spy bot i have updated that imunize option dont really no what it does but its up to date and blocking a lot of things it says!
 
i get you mate now finally i updated the imunize part of spybot so that blocks all the crap im guessing i leave u alone to enjoy your evening

thanks so much
 
mentioned a decent number? you said loads lol i cant thank you enough i take it by setting things to manuel xp will enable them for me when i decide to use them? sorry if i have bored you today mate but i feel i have learnt a lot from you and this thread will go along way for me to look back on.
