My laptop seems to have a memory problem, my friend tells me that 41 processes at once is too many, I ran hijackthis and I hope you can help me speed my laptop up, it runs slowly and seems forever too hot, the fans are loud and never off.

Well it certainly needs a good cleaning. You've got a lot of junk running in the background. You can try erasing some of the things that are running and turn off some of the services that you dont need. Also do you use all the programs that start up? Some times people accumulate programs that they dont ever use and forget about them.
 
Go to start > Run > and type msconfig then go to the 'Startup' tab and deselect any programs you do not need to start up when ur computer starts up.
 
My new log is below, it still seems a little messy, I dont really knjow what half of the processes are let alone what to remove, any help?

41 running processes is not that unusuall. Is zud.org your isp ?
you might want to google a few of those like STDSB.exe. , probably nothing.
Sounds like your fan needs relacing, that is something not to take lightly, if in fact the fan is noisey, it will not get better. You risk loosing your processor.
 
well, its a good thing they dont stop running...anyway, 41 processes isnt bad at all. follow the directions in the computer security 101s...run ad aware, etc. your specific problem will get more attention in that forum.
 
hmm, i have the same problem with the fan, any way to replace it easy, or do i have to do a lot of taking apart things??

Click to expand...

What? 41 processes is horrible I have 19 processes running. He needs a good cleaning download spybot and run that also try microsoft antispyware tool (the only good thing microsoft made lol.)
 
that should be normal if there isn't anything physically wrong with your laptop or if any viruses, etc.. are infecting your pc.

a laptop gets hot because you been using it all day or running lots of programs requiring power comsumptions. so it isn't that unusual that your laptop is hot. you can benefit by getting a laptop fan cooler or whatever they call it.

fits underneath your laptop and blows the air out giving you a cooler laptop.

and what kind of laptop is it? it can be hardware issues also.
