1) How many processes are running? 47

2) How much physical memory is available?

Total Available is 1030892
Available is 381832
System Cache is 454520

I notice the service that seems to take up the most resources is always something called NTRtScan.exe (at 51,168k), which I believe is the network Home Trends virus scanner...

Did you happen to notice how many processes were running? And, is the mem usage for NTRtScan.exe static or does it change constantly?

Do a Ctrl-Alt-Del and click on Task List, select “Processes” and find it in the list. The number to the right will tell you the percentage of CPU utilization. What’s the average number?
