hi all, i'm busy with speeding up my computer. i feel a little progress, but it's not like i want it. 10 minutes ago, i opened the menu CTRL-ALT-DEL (what's the real name of it, actually?) and then i saw the following list; -explorer -ccapp -easykey -rundll32 -sbhc -loadqm -lxsupmon -systray -nprotect -smc -printray -mwsoemon so these programs are running. this list is obviously shorter than the previous one, but i asked myself if i could make it even shorter. my question; are they programs from this list you know who are unneeded? of course i know, you don't know al these programs, because there different from user to user. but are there some typical spyprograms, viruses in this list, it would be nice if someone could notice. (you can ignore my request, i know it's egocentric because there isn't a real problem. but maybe somebody can help.) thanx
Task manager explorer critical ccapp probably the clonecd sheep drive easykey no friggen clue rundll32 probably killable sbhc soundblaster something, you can probably leave it loadqm dunnno lxsupmon something to do with a lexmark printer/scanner? systray leave this nprotect leave this smc wireless internet monitor? printray leave this mwsoemon cant reemember what this is
wieland don't kill anything via task manager. Try Programs>Administrative Tools>Services http://www.grc.com He has little utils to disable messenger, dcom, upnp etc. Spybot S&D http://security.kolla.de/ Has a startup list analyser built in, very interesting comments from expert "Paul Collins Startup List" on everything your OS is starting... Not to mention Spy cleaning, and browser and OS immunizations. L8R
For your info: ===>: The MWSOEMON.EXE process will run at startup and stay resident in the background. It's called an Email plug and is a component of the WebSearch Toolbar that you probably picked up in your surfing of the web !~~smiles~~ You should remove it as follows: manually by running Regedit and find MWSOEMON and delete the key. Restart computer and Find/Delete MWSOEMON.EXE. Of course , If you do want to REMOVE it. Some people find it useful .
that websearch toolbar is correct; :-s. and honestly: i hate him/her. but my sisters just go crazy with excitement when they see al these usefull(?) smileys, cursors,... on the toolbar. anyway, thanx al for your help, i think these programs are all quite needed (lxsupmon is indeed a lexmark printer/easykey is a program for our shortcuts/smc is indeed a wireless internet monitor) so after all, i think this list can't be shorten, exept for that rundll32 and loadqm, i'll try them. thank you!
Here you have very usufull info http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ You can look there for the explanatin of all that stuff
to make your OS start faster, do this: goto "START" "RUN" type in "MSCONFIG"; "OK", goto the tab that says "STARTUP" (take note of what boxes already have check marks in them), you can "DISABLE ALL", BUT you want to leave you ANTIVIRUS (ie...Symantec, or Macafee) CHECKED.... any questions email me at rayvenn01@hotmail.com
Rayvenn don't post your EMail address :-( You are assuming wieland's OS supports msconfig. Do you feel your suggestions are an improvement on my post of June 19? Spybot S&D is still the best way to look into your startup situation; and it is free. Anyone reading: do not disable all (except for antivirus) unless you wish to muck up your PC real bad. L8R
To dear OLD "The_OGS", just to let you know, i have been running my current PC that way for the past year or so, i have never had any problems. So... you give your input, ill give mine. AND why not post my email address, i have nothing to fear, Do You ?!? Actuclly SpyBot Search and Destroy is not the best way to to look into your startup situation, Where did you get that Bogas info from?
I would be very wary of easykey if that is showing up. It is a known keylogger which will capture every key you type at the computer - passwords or credit card #s for example, and lets others access that info.
When anyone offers bad advice, like disabling all start-ups so your computer starts faster, it is incumbent on all who know better to correct that. It is dangerous input to provide, but yes you are free to provide it... If you post your EMail address, robots will send you instructions for penis-enlargement techniques. Be afraid: Be very afraid! Is this unclear? Can you give specific information about why it is not a good way, and why it is 'Bogas'? Everyone's startup list is different, my friend, depending on what software is installed on their PC. I personally have 12 items, and chose to not start 3 of them. Did you not see Praetor say 'leave this; leave this; leave this' Do you feel you know better than he does, because your PC still runs after 'Disable All'? Regards (Oh, and I bet your PC is FULL of spyware, hehe
Again to the Might OLD "THE_OGS" Who are you to say i gave bad advice, i feel that YOU gave bad advice... Im not afraid to post my email, because i have taken the necessary procations. I agree everyones startup list is different, But who, or what makes you and or Praetor god on this matter? Why should you be trusted in what you say more than I? He or SHE, (they), "wieland" should be doing ALOT more research for theirself.. !!! not just by taking your or my word.. NO, I do not feel I know better than anyone, I just simply stated what i do know, JUST as you "The_OGS" and "Praetor" have. DO you feel you know better than I? AND as for your last little comment....My PC is not full of SPYWARE, i do know what and use "SPYWARE SEARCH AND DESTROY", and "ADWARE" spyware and adware removal. I ALSO use SPYWAREBLASTER, Which if you dont know, prevents spyware from being insatlled on your computer as you surf the net. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ?!?
