Those you cannot kill, winn automatically be protected in enditall....
and those that you shouldnt have killed will restart as soon as you need them in anycase.... so there is no harm done in killing anything....
the worst thing that can happen when you kill processes that shouldnt have been killed, is you cant download off the internet... whoopy, that corrects itself after a restart....
and 14 processes are normal.... depending on the system configuration, even up to 50 is normal....
As for the messing with your computer at work.... install spybot... it immunizes your computer against a LOT of spyware... so it makes it much more difficult for spyware to hop aboard. as for cleansweep crashing.... that happens because some spyware actaully attack cleansweep.
