Glad I found your article. It is easy to follow and puts me at ease knowing all i will lose is the ability to see my history but then i don’t use internet explorer anymore so no loss.I’m constantly shutting down processes on the task manager . now I may be able to go in and actually stop some form loading with your information. There are some you can’t shut down as I learned. Many are necessary for the system to run properly but I have up to 40 processes running at a time and would like to cut that back.
One process called tea timer is software for a anti spyware program and takes a lot of space. I’m not sure I should shut it down at start up.

Thanks. This one recently popped up on a relatives computer and I was asked to find out what it did. I’m more careful on my systems and don’t allow services unless I know what they are or request them.

On my netbook, the service was BBUpdate and the file was C:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft\BingBar\SeaPort.EXE

Instead of disabling it, I ran this command on my XP PC to permanently uninstall the SeaPort service:
MsiExec.exe /X{06E6E30D-B498-442F-A943-07DE41D7F785}
