| | Does anybody know what these startup programs do? I've Googled some of these already but I am unsure if I can turn any of the following off and get away with it. IAStorIcon.exe Apoint.exe SysTrayApp (sttray64.exe) nwiz.exe NvCplDaemon (RUNDLL32.exe) NvHotkey UseService (BCMDeviceAndTaskStatusService.exe) msseces.exe TdmNotify.lnk The rest I know about (I had a few more than what's listed here) but I'm not sure about these. Can anybody help? Thanks. |

| | Nvidia Video card? nwiz.exe, NvCplDaemon, NvHotkey are probabaly to do with Nvidia drivers and the Nvidia control panel. msseces.exe is Microsoft Security Essentials. |

How can I disable them? Since this is a brand new machine, I don't expect any of these to be malware in the truest sense, but I'm not sure if any of them can be disabled, either. Are they essential services? That's more how I'm approaching this. |

| | msseces.exe is definitely MS Security Essentials BCMDeviceAndTaskStatusService.exe appears to be some sort of Dell thing Apoint.exe is part of touchpad drivers IAStorIcon.exe is "The program is related to Intel Rapid Recover Technology" according to a quick Google search Hope that helps! |

| | Process Explorer will also tell you by clicking on the program. It will then take you to the internet and discribe the program Process Explorer Fabe |
