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.

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.
