    I notice in my Task Manager a process running called "WR Consumer Service ".
    The application uses 12,400k memory. I have not been able to find what this does, if it is necessary and if not what is the best way to get rid of it.

    I Binged the service name and found all sorts of imformation like:

    WRConsumerService.exe is a service that was added with Spy Sweeper 6 anti-spyware.

    This wrconsumerservice.exe file is safe and should not be considered threat to your computer.

    Thanks Steve
    When I Googled it the first answer that came up led me to the "Tech Support Guy Forums" and that really didn't tell me anything. I do have "Spy Sweeper" on my puter so I guess I'll leave it alone.
    Thanks
