these process ID's found in Terminal with


ps -ax

But they just won't die.


Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks in advance,

Darren.

Thanks Carolyn ;-)


I should have clarified - I'd already tried Activity Monitor - Quit & Force Quit.


Nothing happens - which is how I ended up trying to use Terminal as Root - and that didn't work either.


I really don't like this at all - it smacks of Spyware. I'm pretty sure they're not, as I've installed them myself.


But I don't like any program that stops me from selecting whether or not I want to run it on Login.....
