I have a HP TouchSmart tx2-1377nr Notebook with Windows 7.  Not sure what all is going on....  Internet started running extremely slow, when shutting down it always says something about background process is shutting down..  I need help with figuring out what I have running during start up and what I need and dont need , what can be safly deleted and help with my internet. I am using firefox 3.6 I think.

Please LET me know what logs you need for me to RUN and what other info you need to be able to help with this problem..

I have gotten help from here before(long time ago) so I have complete faith that someone can help me again...

Thank You
ksharris23You can with your computer running press control/alt/delete simultaneously and that will OPEN a window which has a "processes " tab which will show you what processes are running and what proportion of CPU use they are using. truenorth I have done that but I can not tell head or tails what they are.  I understand that my request may seem a LITTLE vague but if someone would just take a look and SEE if they notice anything that should not be there I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks When you bring up the task manager, look and see if the CPU usage is high. Here is how mine looks under normal conditions.

This was taken while I was on the internet and had another application loading. The CPU load was very light.
Tell us what you see.Okay right now my CPU usage goes from 10% to 40+%. and my Memory is  1.52 GB .
