Thanks, everyone. Again, I can't go clearing the thing and all that becuase I'm not the only one that uses this computer. *I* may not have anything on it I care about losing (which I do anyway...) but that doesn't mean that my sister or dad doesn't either. I found a site once that listed everything that should be running in the background, what shouldn't and listed what everything was that was running...be it a program, piece of a program or a virus. I don't remember the site though...think it was something on Cnet but I don't remember.
