Services running on my computer
How do I know what services actually need to be running on my computer? How do I know which ones I can set up as automatic, manual or disable? Do these services interfere with my memory at all? If I am a home user what do I actually need running regarding processes? Where can I find this information?blondeagent991 person got this answerI do too

The easiest way to determine what is necessary and what can be disabled is to run StartUpLite from the makers of Malwarebytes one of the most trusted malware scanners available. It will not recommend you disable anything you really need.http://download.cnet.com/StartUpLite/3000-18512_4-10797024.htmlRegards,JoelFree computer support and diagnostics -->> http://repairbotsonline.forumotion.com/
