I just checked the task manager and right now there are only two programs

Next time it starts doing it's automatic restart nonsense, I'll check it

It might be "Spyware Doctor" that automatically updates itself.

Thanks.

There is a lot more than that running. I promise. Go back to task manager
and
click on the tab for PROCESSES. That is where all the "background" stuff
shows
up. Unfortunately for you, it may not be at all obvious what some of them
are
parts of. An example would be if you had Symantec Antivirus on the
computer,
there would be several processes associated with it. One would be called
RTVSCAN, which is the Real Time Virus Scan process. There might also be
one
called DLUPD (or something like that) for "Do Live Update"

The program tab only shows user apps that are running.

You're right. *There's a bunch of stuff going on in that tab.

I think I will just leave things as they are. *Overall, this computer works
fine and everytime I mess around I regret it, mainly because I don't have a
clue what I am doing when it comes to computers.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
