    Hello,

    So I got my E1505 notebook, and as probably all those who got one, I removed (control panel > add/remove) the junk software that was pre-installed.

    Although having 'cleaned' the computer, I still feel that, sometimes, unknown tasks remain starting and running, especially when I'm not using the notebook.

    Is there something that may be done to remove the source of these unuseful tasks that are slowing the computer, and get a more efficient notebook?

    Thank you.
