got this off his site:

"Command Prompt

Use Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Check the Processes and Performance tab. for Processes refer to this:
0-70 Great, 70-90 Needs Work, 90+ Horrible.
The Fix? Go through the processes and Google unfamiliar ones, if they are indeed malicious - refer to below on how to get rid of them."
- end quote

my question:

0-70 process running at any given moment is "great"??

when i finish a hard core maintenance run on a pc my goal is:

XP 25 +- (including the AV FW and whatever s\w the client needs)

Vista 60 +-

what do you think?

I think that's all way too high. I currently have 25 processes on my XP PC and if I see more than 35 on a client's PC, I start slimming it down. Over 40, IMHO, is just overweight and 90??? You've got some serious issues.

Vista is higher but my test PC is currently sitting at 41 processes with Avira Antivir Free as my Anti Virus. This guy's numbers are seriously skewed.

Whose site did you get this from?

I agree, these numbers are way off. I'd say 25-30 on XP as for Vista, well...good luck with that. But you might check out what I have done with my Vista. 31 process running.




This is an example of what can be done with a program called vlite. Its almost as fact as a stock install of XP. 45 sec boot up, 6 second shutdown.

wow, very impressive. will this work for a clients machine or did you turn off vital services and features?

 

[gunslinger]

I would not do this on a clients machine. As for vital services and features I think that will very from person to person, It will depend on what you need your computer for. Also remember that some services can be set to manual just incase you need to turn then back on.
