    Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
  • looks like you have symantec and mcaffee products running. Not goo din my expieriance
  • You have 2 antivirus running lots of processes - Norton (Symantec) and McAfee. Disable or uninstall one of them.

    The following can be disabled:

    jusched.exe - checks for Java updates. Not really necessary, as you can do it manually. Control Panel - Java - Update tab - untick Check automatically.

    realsched.exe
    qttask.exe
    issch.exe - InstallShield updater.
    igfxpers.exe - Intel graphics.
    hkcmd.exe - Intel graphics hotkey. Can be run manually when required.
    GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe - can probably be disabled.

    You have some Intel RAID processes. Are the hard drives set up for RAID? If not, disable them.

    cisvc.exe - Indexing service. Not necessary, slows down your computer. Disable in Services and will also prevent cidaemon.exe running.

    You may be able to disable each in their respective program options, otherwise disable in Msconfig startup tab (Start - Run - type msconfig - OK) or Services (Start - Run - type services.msc - OK) and set the service to Manual.

    Google the process name to find out more.
