going on and it may be slowing down my PC. Here is a list of what they are. Please 
if you can, tell me what they are and are they required.

ad-watch.exe
symlcsvc.exe
savscan.exe
nvsvc32.exe
navapsvc.exe
mdm.exe
sgtray.exe
PackethSvc.exe
spoolsv.exe
CCEVTMGR.exe
CCSETMGR.exe
hysysdrv.exe
svchost.exe x4 (Local Service, Network Service, and System)

lsass.exe
services.exe

Most of those services are required.  And that is not alot of processes.  Also, never 
post something like that because it can give hackers an idea of what is running on 
your system and try to exploit it.

	You need to download, immediately update, and run:

SpyBot Search & Destroy 
and Ad-aware
shutdown IE and run both, if you get a large number of instances run both
a second time.


Good Luck,
