UNSOLVED
programs running in background (ctrl alt del)
i find that it takes a while for my computer to fully boot up now. im thinking it is because i have quite a few programs running in the background. here are the programs that are runnning:
Explorer
Zonealarm
Systray
Createcd50
Savenow
Directcd
Realplay
Point32
Whagent
Vettray
Dssagent
Stimon
Vetmsg9x
everytime i start the computer i see this programs listed when i press ctrl alt del. is it necessary to have all these running? i know what a few of them are for but some i have not idea. like i know i have to have explorer and systray running. zonealarm is some firewall thing. directcd and createcd50 is my cd burning stuff. realplay is my realplayer program. the rest i have no idea what they are. is it safe to get rid of these programs from starting up when i turn on the computer? how do you get rid of them from starting up? thanks for the help.

Vettray and Vetmsg9x are Inoculate It! PE files (programs?). I keep them running at all times.

Hi,
Vettray and vetmsg9x are virus scan files belonging to either Norton or InoculateIT, I can't remember which. I would personally not want them disabled on my PC.
Best regards,
Roger
