Computer gektoids, my girlfriend needs you!

If you open up Spybot and go to Tools --> Processes it will show the same thing as Ctrl-Alt-Delete, just with a more verbose output. (It will tell you where the program is installed and usually you can make out what it is).

[TCO]

Well...I will try that. But still I am scared to kill running processes when I don't know what they are. Plus, do I kill them once and they stay dead or do I kill them each time I restart?

[Ted Striker]

From the ctrl-alt-delete screen if you kill them, they will stay dead until you reboot.

When you reboot they will start up again.

The ones you shouldn't kill are the ones that say, "Windows" or "System" on them.

Ok, I will do some killing. Let me see what I have:

crap, how do I select and print the displayed processes under ctrl alt del? It won't let me select more than one.

[Ted Striker]

You can't print them.

Hit print-screen, that will take a screenshot.

Then go to Paint and paste. Then you'll have to upload the picture here.

GP's processes:

xxx.exe Hot economists (Premium subscription)
tnomic.exe Thugganomics Weekly
GDP.exe GDP Monthly GDP statistics blather
sub.exe Modern Sub

[TCO]

here is what spybot had ( i was able to export a list. Than I had to determine the whole path of what i had exported. And then use WE to find it. And had to turn on "view hidden folders to get that".

Sheesh. I am really sick of Windows trying to be like a Mac. Give me back my 3.1.1. Or my NT.

Well, what rocket scientist at MS didn't reallize people would want to record the list of processes? I will do it like you say. But it is ridiculous with the amount of people they have and the time they've spent that there are still so many poor ergonomic features.

What you mean by try, kimosabe? try = kill? One at time or all die at once?
