When flying should a guy close Ad-Aware so it won't run in the back ground or leave it - i have 68 processes running in task manager and would like to get rid of some if i could without buggering any thing up . Thanks Louis Massicotte

Don't sweat the small stuff, if you look at the CPU loading for all those process you'll note that they are not using any significant amount. Select the CPU column on the Process tab of the Task Manager to see this.

Unless you have a security program doing active scans. Fsx should be excluded from those.I dunno if adaware does that or not, I haven't used it in years.
