Hello Everyone, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question about Running Processes? When I was running AdAware SE today, I noticed that it said I had 322 Running Processes! Is that normal? That seems like a lot to me! I have run full system scans with NAV, the Stinger, and TrendMicro and all have come up clean. Any ideas? Is there any way I can find out what all of those running processes are? My computer has been freezing up on me every once in a while over the last few days. I haven't installed anything new or removed anything either......... so I don't know what gives. Thank you for your time and consideration, Jodie

I don't know how to find out what they are, but I can tell you mine is in the low mid hundreds too, then I usually have like, 22-24 processes running. I think it's normal, but can't say for sure.
