Was slightly unsure how to proceed with this - I did some internet/forum searching to find the answers to these questions. Some however I couldn't find anything of use on, so I said I was unsure of them. I presume this was correct. :)

Hello chrisglew,

Welcome to your first p/l. :)

Room 01 has a lot of topics, which you should read.
But read here where you can find information for this p/l and some future ones.

Please repost this p/l after you did the search from the proper sites.

I want the name of each process and what it does, as explained in 00a p/l example.

If any process doesn't excist in the links from the topic i gave you, google to find more information. Google will be your best friend from now and on. ;)

Is this a vista pc?

Is ESET your Antivirus?
