TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 what dont i need running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDemolition Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 are you by any chance using Virtual Memory? because on the bottom, that's a little high. accually, a LOT. as for stuff you don't need, igfxtray.exe and YPager.exe are the only ones that i can see. i don't really know what YPager does but igfxtray is useless.

pwillener Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I also have deactivated jusched; that's the task checking for Java Runtime updates. as for stuff you don't need, igfxtray.exe and YPager.exe are the only ones that i can see. i don't really know what YPager does but igfxtray is useless. It seems to be the task manager itself taking up most of that CPU usage; no problem therefore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 aim.exe AIM+.exe AOLacsd.exe fxssvc.exe hkcmd.exe jusched.exe YPager.exe I think maybe is not needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDPower Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 but he uses AIM He obviously also uses AOL too and disabling AOLacsd.exe I think would cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 AOL shivers! AOL is the devil! If I was you, I would uninstall AIM, and cancel the ISP subscription and get another ISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 see i dont know anything about isp's either. and ypager i think is yahoo IM, and I dont use aol but i do use aim. so about this isp thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yes, I think that YPager.exe is Yahoo IM. Personally, I wouldnt use either Yahoo IM or AIM and would delete anything on the system that has anything todo with either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 nice, then wat do i use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokoike Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 nice, then wat do i use? Well, GAIM supports both AIM and Yahoo!, as well as dozens of other IM apps. And if you want to be cool like me, you should get Google Talk. BTW, that explorer.exe process is looking pretty hefty... may wanna kill him off. j/k Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 google talk isnt that secure. you can figure out someones password in seconds. im gonna try gaim out but i heard it had all kinds of pop ups, ads, and spyware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be any less secure than AIM! I gotta agree with Eldmannen and his intense dislike for AOL products. They're always bloated, and they put junk all over your computer. I can't imagine that they're all that secure either... I like GT cause it's small, sleek, loads very fast, and is easy to use. It has a couple little quirks that bug me, but all in all, it isn't too bad. Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding!

Eldmannen Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 nice, then wat do i use? I use Miranda IM which is a free, open-source, very thin, light-weight, bloat-free, high-customizable (due to good modular plugin architecture) IM client. To connect to Jabber/XMPP services using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer (encrypted)). google talk isnt that secure. you can figure out someones password in seconds. im gonna try gaim out but i heard it had all kinds of pop ups, ads, and spyware. Why would Google Talk be less secure than anything else? I highly doubt you can find out someones passwords in seconds. Maybe you heard about AIM? Because GAIM does not contain any popups, ads or spyware. GAIM is a free, open-source product. No malware there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 well lets just say i got curious and i was trying to figure out how secure my programs wer. i downloaded a program and ran it on my computer and it found no passwords. i ran it on my friends who had google talk and it found the password instantly.
