Who Else Wants To Know More About Processes In The Task Manager?
2007-05-14 15:26:00 Truth be told, I have been a Windows user since the days of Windows 95, which is roughly about 10 years ago. I had no interest in understanding what Windows is all about until I went to university. My classmates had been the influence in making a more technology-conscious me. I cared more about how to fully utilize my PC, setup routers, use anti spywares-virus-adware, bittorrent and much more. I know that there are many Windows XP users out there who don’t really understand the processes running on their PCs. Some of the processes may be spywares, collecting every keystroke that you make, just so that ‘they’ can steal your money from your accounts. So it is very important to understand common processes in the task manager’s list. Let’s look at mine. Press Ctrl-Shift-Escape. Click on the ‘Processes’ tab. That’s how a typical list look like.

If you use Gmail, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger or you are active in forums, you’re at risk if you use weak passwords. If you use Adsense, Paypal and do online banking, you gotta come up with even stronger passwords. Sometimes, you do come up with strong passwords, using unfamiliar random characters that are hard to break but also hard to remember at the same time. I have a friend who once kept his ATM Machine password in his wallet. How dumb is that? One fine day, he lost not only his wallet, but also $3000 (withdrawal limit for a day) from his bank. Nothing in the world could be done. In this case, even the bank’s cctv was useless. A lot of sites that I googled suggested recording passwords on paper or storing it in password managers.
