    I have a problem. Running Windows 7, "*32" appears at the end of half the applications listed in Task Manager list applications or programs . Computer is crashing and internet access is severely compromised. ESET Antivirus has scanned and found nothing. Ran Spybot. Nothing. Lavasoft  shows " *32 " at the end of its name and wont open either.

      You're off topic for this forum, which is dedicated to Windows Live OneCare. 

       

      Your question may be better posed to one of the forums here: 

      Windows 7: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7

       

      The *32 simply means that they are 32 bit programs running on your system, which is apparently running the 64 bit version of Windows 7.
