Hello

Is there a program that will scan my XP Processes and tell what they are and if they are really required??

I have shit loads of them running and I am sure this is causing my machine to be so slow??

The tools in the link will help. Process Explorer will help you look at all processes and allows you to look inside each running process to see what is being used by the hosting process.

If svchost.exe is not running out of C:\Windows\system32, then it's a Trojan.
