I get this stuff on 'tasklist' cmd.

To see what NT services are rolled up into each instance of svchost, you
need to use Process Explorer from SysInternals.

You'll have to go find those files to determine what they are for. Google
search on them. Search for where they are on your hard disk as that may
determine their purpose or to what software they belong. Some look to be
laptop utilities - but then you never mentioned that your "computer" was a
laptop.

I'll find their purposes in the time. They are laptop utilities, mostly. And
other, undefined. It would be superb that taskmanager have a short
explanations of aplicattions, as process explorer have, as you mentioned.
Computer= Laptop or Desktop computer....generally saying.

If it is a laptop, why are you running
server software on it?

Why wouldn't i do that? I know that laptops, besides those up-mighty ones
haven't been made for server side, but a man gotta manage somehow.
What do you suggest, not to put server side on my laptop?Why? I have a
desktop computer, but it isn't prepared yet for such a task. I'm in learning
phase...

Happen to have Acronis TrueImage running on this host?

Yeah, having problem with consistency of a harddrive so looking forward to
make an harddisk image onto a desktop computer.


GhostStartService.exe 620 Console 0 2.280 K

And Norton Ghost, too? Pick one backup/imaging program and stick with
that one. If this is not part of Norton Ghost, find where is the file on
the hard disk to determine to which product it belongs.

I always thought that i would need this programme for something, but didn't
used it yet.
You are absolutely right, i'll stick with one of a kind. Symantec was really
a ghost for me.

inetinfo.exe 688 Console 0 10.196 K

Might be running to provide IIS (web server) management although IIS
doesn't actually need to be running. I think it might be required if you
use web sharing of folders (but then I think IIS has to be running to
provide the web server-style access).

C: \windows\system32\inetsrv

Maybe this helps, obviously it's a part of windows files. I'm not using web
sharing of folders, but am using file sharing between this two computers. My
scane(HP)r has some function of uploading of files on net, rubbish.


Mcshield.exe 776 Console 0 68.868 K

McAfee VirusScan or part of a McAfee security suite.

HPZipm12.exe 1032 Console 0 1.804 K

My guess is this has to do with a printer. Got an HP printer? Running
some toolbox program for it?

Yeah, their toolbox is self-installing&managing tool, don't like too much,
i like knowing what&when i have installed onto computer.


alg.exe 2352 Console 0 3.668 K

This is the Application Layer Gateway. You only need to have this NT
service enabled and running if you use the firewall included in

Yes, i have firewall installed onto computer, don't see the ways going
online without it these days.

Windows or you run ICS (the gateway server program to make your host look
like a gateway for Internet access to other hosts inside your network, but
most folks nowadays just connect all their hosts to a router).

Other computer doesn't have an internet acess for now. I'm working on that
too :)
Yet didn't go so far as router is, trying to avoid that.

explorer.exe 3652 Console 0 27.248 K

That would be your desktop.

TaskSwitch.exe 3852 Console 0 1.912 K

Install the TaskSwitch powertoy from Microsoft? If yes, it isn't stable
so you might want to rethink leaving that powertoy installed.

What is it used for? I don't recall using it... As we are by that, where
do i uninstall this little applications?



rundll32.exe 2468 Console 0 3.584 K

You will need Process Explorer to find out which program from within a DLL
file is being executed by this process. You might be able to use
msconfig.exe or AutoRuns to find a startup entry for this. DLLs are
libraries of functions or methods that are collated together within a
single file. Each function is called by name, or an entry point, in the
DLL file. So the complete command line will be something like
"rundll32.exe <dllfile>,<parameters>". For simplistic security products,
like many firewalls, they don't check what the program uses for parameters
so they only know rundll32.exe was executed and most users permit that
program to run but this is a security risk because it could be malware or
unwantedware that gets loaded and is running.


I scanned this for viruses(viruses=0), aditionally, but will surely use
process explorer for it.

mysqld.exe 2556 Console 0 10.516 K

MySQL daemon: An SQL server. Probably runs as an NT service so it loads
on Windows startup. You certainly seem to be running lots of server-level
programs on a workstation host. It also seems odd that you have the
expertise to be installing and using these type of programs but no
understanding of how to administer Windows.

Rather saying a low-level of a beginner, but am trying to become an expert,
it's something like call of duty.

ctfmon.exe 2664 Console 0 3.524 K

Don't know what that one is. Start doing a file search to find it, or use
Process Explorer from SysInternals to get more info on it.

Apache.exe 2944 Console 0 13.256 K

You are running the Apache web server on a workstation-class operating
system? Well, yeah, it can be done. Presumably it was installed to run
as an NT service. I have to wonder why you cannot decipher your own
startup and running processes if you have the wherewithall to manage a web
server and its pages.

You listed 2 instances of this process. Seems odds that it needs to be
loaded twice.

Yeah, this is odd, but don't know which one to switch off. I switched the
one which is acquiring less space-off. And that brought apache off. Then i
started it again, it automatically asked me 'am i sure to turn it off?'.


iexplore.exe 4404 Console 0 53.608 K

Did you actually have a visible instance of Internet Explorer displayed
when you ran the 'tasklist' command? If not, you have malware that is
running a hidden (no window) instance of IE. You listed 2 instances of
this process. Did you have 2 instances of IE open at the time? Obviously
IE would *not* be loading on Windows startup to effect a lag in how long
before it becomes ready for use. You are showing a lot of irrelevant
processes to your problem regarding startup time.


Maybe i did, don't remember having them open. I looked for them just right
about now and there's no iexplorer.exe.
It seems that was usual way of flow on my computer(laptop). Yeah, but every
computer has a lot of this processes stared up also as usually.

WLLoginProxy.exe 4424 Console 0 7.500 K

You are also running a local web proxy in addition to a web server and SQL
server on an end-user host (and maybe a laptop, too)?

msimn.exe 4808 Console 0 22.728 K

That is Outlook Express. Was there a reason that you had it running with
you ran 'tasklist'? Obviously it should not be running when you startup
Windows and when you login, and it is the startup time that you were
complaining about.

I have it turned on most of the time. But didn't aranged it to start up with
windows.?

AcroRd32.exe 5896 Console 0 26.884 K

Why was Acrobat Reader running at the time?


I checked it right now, and it hasn't been started. It may be that it was
started that time due to loading or opening some file, so it has stayed
open in tasks.

notepad.exe 1684 Console 0 3.776 K

Well, even you can figure that one out. Obviously that process would NOT
be a cause of the lag to get Windows ready since it does *not* load on
Windows startup or when you login.

cmd.exe 5240 Console 0 2.732 K

And you have a DOS shell open, too? Geez, how much garbage do you have
running all at once and claiming to be loading when Windows starts?

This is more like a question to me, because i don't know how to make
programs, utilities not loading with the startup, moreover don't know even
where to look for such an options.
Cmd is always under the 'Start' on the right side of the menu. I haven't
made it to open on startup individually. I open it manually when needed.
Heh, those system administrators have this kind of utilities allthetime
opened 10x as i do. What are you saying or suggesting, you never have more
than three utilities opened in the same time?




I'm starting to suspect that this is NOT your laptop or was a used one
that you somehow acquired. If you had the expertise to manage and
understand all the software that you show is running on your computer then
you would have the expertise to understand those processes.

I surely agree that i would need to know all of this processes on my
computer. It's like not knowing who is working or passing by in/through my
house. So looking it from one side i'm pretty ashamed. But it's not that
relevant anyhow, is it?
I have a bill for this laptop so...but it's just like someone gave me an nlo
into my hands, similarly. So trying to decipher what really, really is.
Thanks my friend on this valuable informations. Hope you'll stay in contact!
