resources used by unknown programs.

and "Alt" key and press "Delete" key to run the Task Manager to see which
programs are running in your PC. There may be many programs running in the
background. In the task manager you can click on one item and and kill that
program. After you see the list of items running, you can uninstall those

indicates the programs running, you can right click on each item and
close.
In the Start menu, go to see Start > All Programs > Startup. In this you can

either uninstall those programs, or delete the shortcuts.

runs automatically.
