Hey, i was wondering if you could help me, when i start my taskmanager it shows that there are two iexplorers open but i only see 1, why is this? and clould you tell me what Communications_ is? every time i turn off my computer it tells me to end the program along with other which names i cant remember. Thanks.

Sounds like some random program, but it could also be a virus. Windows will also corrupt itself in time so you might consider restoring. Remember restoring takes off all files, data, and installed programs you have added.

system idel prosscess is going around 65 cpu useage..is that normal? if not let me know i can do please ty

[frenchge]

This means you only have 35% process loading on your CPU. Check to see what processes are running that total the 35%. The 65% is the available processing power left. Normally you should see greater than 90% System Idle Process with only a few minor processes running.

hey, i have a window 7, but my computer is getting slow lately, when i watch youtube videos it load very slow or it doesnt load at all. when i open my window task manager processes, theres a lot of programs i dont know, and it uses a lot of my computer memory. im too scare to delete them because i dont know if it will make my programs stop working properly in the future

Windows has a very vulnerable registry and is very vulnerable to malware. I run Glary utilities daily to clean the registry and AVG 2012 to fight off the malware. If I do get infected or have issues I restore Windows quickly using an imaging program. You have to become a computer tech to run Windows successfully. Unfortunately most users should be using a MAC instead of a PC.
