I see them in Advanced System Information - Services. I
aslo see another list in the Control Panel/Add and Remove
program tool list. Bottomline is I'm guessing my PC is
slow partially because of programs running in the
background that are not needed. What is the best way to
search and remove option programs running in the
background.

thx.

PS: could you send an e-mail with the response in
