29 processes right now, which includes:

- firefox
- MSN
- winamp
- bittorent client
- speedfan
- taskmanager

so if i did a clean boot with none of my startup stuff, id be very close to 20

I thought I might have a problem. I run an updated avast and zone alarm. I also run spybot from time to time so I don't know how something would sneak in.

Anyway do you guys see a problem with this? The process list is right at bootup with an internet connection present. The CPU usage is with Photoshop and adobe update opened.

Judd - Just a quick look over and Im no expert but there doesnt seem to be too much trouble there. Youve got 5 ash* processes which are all Avast, 4 eh* processes which are all Windows Media Centre. So thats already 9 processes quite a few people on here wont have.

I dont know why you have so many svchost.exe running at boot up though? I have about that many when Im using my comp fully, but not at boot up.

21 with task manager.

14 at boot with no task manager.

43 atm. But this is a laptop, so at least 5 of those are agents for special cat pad functions, power monitoring, etc.

23 with task manager, opera and winamp loaded

I just got some strange results

On boot I had 60 processes running
When I loaded up my usual everyday programs I had 70
When I closed everything down I actually had 55 which is less than on boot

I would have thought that on boot that there would be less processes running.
