I downloaded the AVG Anti-Virus software. I performed a scan and found no suspicious programs. I completed an update and scheduled the utility to run a scan every day at 4 AM.
20-3 Researching Running Processes
When comparing the running processes between a normal boot, and starting in safe mode, normal has 96 processes and safe mode has 19. Rather than listing all of the differences, I have posted screen shots below.
