How do I know which processes I can end on my PC?

Download & install a free programme called Winpatrol from\nhttp://www.winpatrol.com/\nIt gives the company name for each of the processes in your startup. Obviously those with the company name "Microsoft" should be disabled with extreme caution..infact it's best to play safe & not disable these.\nFor the future Winpatrol looks out for& warns you about any new programme/process which wants to start up every time you start your computer. You are then able to allow or disallow....this prevents you getting into the situation you are in now when it is difficult to recognise most of these programmes/processes to know if it's safe to disable..

This could have resulted from virus,So in order to terminate process go to Windows Task Manager ,right click on the process and click End process tree\n\nThen use(Start->Run->type msconfig) then remove the un wanted process by un clicking the unwanted process that boots up every time your system boots.

If you want to see if there are any suspicious processes, download Process Explorer. Task manager does not give a description of what the processes are. Process Explorer even gives you an option when you righ-click on a process to google it to find out more info on that process.

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del, windows task manager will show up and then press on Processes Tab. This will show you a list of every process that is running.  Can't really help you past this but youre going to have to End some Processes by selecting the process and clicking End Process button.  I suggest you do not end SYSTEM process.  Select the processes that you think might be using the mic.

Press control alt delete and have a look at running processes, look for anything starting with HP. click "end process". Unless you have other HP devices that is.\n\nThen try either the folder for the software on our hard disk, look for an uninstall program there, like something called "unwise.exe" ? Or on the start, programs folder for its software, an uninstall program.\n\nOr in Windows XP, open the control panel, printers folder, try right clicking on the device and see what options it gives you. You might be able to kill it from there.\n\nGood luck!

Yeah u probably have spyware running even if u dont want it. Im not sure, but try ctrl+alt+del, go to proceeseess, and see if there are any processes not running under SYSTEM, that seem suspicious. If you end a process, it will immediatly stop. Also, try searching your program files directory  and see if anything  got installed that seems suspicious.

Hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager. There are tabs for applications and processes. The processes tab will let you know specifically what files are running and how much of the CPU processes they account for.
