You can also see which programs are using the most virtual memory in task manager. Select "select columns" from the view drop-down menu, and select Virtual memory size. Then click ok. Now there is a column showing the vitural memory usage.

Installed Kodak EzShare and copied pix onto a cd from my kodak. This a.m. the screen is fuzzy and distorted. all apps images from start are grainy and much larger than previous. I don't believe it is the Kodak Program. This PC has multiple users. I'm attempting to remove unwanted programs, crapware from the task mgr but haven't been able to locate anything via google. Thanks Leo

When viewing Cpu usage history graph there is a red trace following the green trace very closely.
Could this be a sign of some kind of key tracking software running on my computer or is something getting ready to break down?

I keep having something running in my processes called hxatoa.exe *32. I have no idea what this is too an haven't been able to find any info on the web. It just shows up an runs. It takes up a ton of memory. Like 65% of my 4g comptuer. There are sometimes 30 of this running on my processes. I have to end processall of them an it takes a long time. Any help on what this is would be appreciate:)
Thanks!!!
Sounds like malware to me. Make sure you're running good, up to date tools and recent scans.
