Now I dont know overly much about processes, I know what say 50% of them are, and I realise there are many crucial to boot and run windows.
But could someone please explain or suggest why I have so much stuff running clean from a boot up. (I've done all the msconfig etc etc, no programs are starting that shouldnt be. norton 2005 accounts for about 5 or so of the processes but there should surely be less. Thanks)

I realise a lot of bugs are disguised as svchost.exe because that stops them looking obscure, but norton finds no problems anywhere on any scan, but 6?! Almost any process I dont know in the list when trying to end it gives the usual error of when trying to close any important process (i.e critical ones)
Thanks for any help. (thats 43 in total by the way)
