I don't know if there are win-2k groups, but the _better_ win-98 group
to post to is microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion.


There's always alt.os.windows2000.

2nd question... This is a screen capture from Task manager just
after the PC is powered on and all AVG has updated and settled in.
Which of these programs could I remove? And do any look suspicious?

Thanks in advance.

I would either run msconfig or mess with your registry and get rid of:

- adobearm.exe


Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager. There may be a program setting somewhere
to turn it off.

- jqs.exe


Java Quick Starter. Disable it (and "Place Java icon in system tray") in the
Java control panel.

- jusched.exe


Java Update Scheduler. Disable it automatic updates the Java control panel.
(Might be called "JRE automatic download" or similar.)

Sometimes to really make those 3 disappear you need to delete or rename
the files so the system can't find them. That's easy to do on a win-98
system (just boot into DOS) but on an NT-based system with that fabulous
NTFS, good luck.

Don't know what these a

- keyhook.exe
- pctspk.exe


Modem. Kill it from the registry, reboot to safe mode, delete it.

- bjmyprt.exe (probably printer-related and not really necessary)


"Canon My Printer".
This process is used for printing services. It is an essential process for
the proper operation of your Canon printer so it should not be deleted.

I would also kill ntvdm, wowexec, and psp.exe. PSP is for the modem but not
necessary; the other two are to load it. Killing PSP wherever it's loading
should handle the other two.

Reader_sl.exe is the Acrobat Reader equivalent to JQS. There should be a
setting somewhere in Acrobat Reader to disable it.

Sistray.exe is for your graphics card. I would remove it from wherever it's
starting; it looks like it may destabilize your system.
