Advice on a systems utility?

[deebs]

Hi - I am thinking about delegating system management to a systems
utility such as WinTask 5 Pro or others depending upon your experience
and guidance.

WT5 Pro website advises me that
Very Low: Security, Stability, Speed
Poor: CPU usage, Memory usage
Moderate: Startup time, Invisible Processes

and further suggests the computer may be running a large number of
unneccessary background tasks and processes.

Computer consists: an AMD 4000+ thingy, 4 x 250 GB SATAs (non-RAID), 1
Gig RAM on XP Pro SP2 and all recent updates.

Does anyone have preferences, recommendations and suggestions about
system utilities in general and WT5 Pro in particular?

Thanks to all those whom may ponder responses and even greater thanks to
those whom may reply

Thanks D

It is very good advice for sure.

I did a google on ctfmon.exe and one of the links took me to a short
explanation plus an option to check using a webscan at

It seems legit
