Non Essential Process
This windows process is listed as non-essential and may be slowing down your system. We recommend that you check whether the process should continue to run automatically or at system startup. Remember, if its running then it's probably consuming resources or using part of your systems processing power. See the additional information section below for more details.
Additional Information
Applies to the CPQBootPerfDB entry as well. These files generate some kind of server or servlet that attempts to connect with Compaq online. They are like Trojans, but fairly harmless. They send information on the "Compaq Advisor/Compaq Message Screener" application that comes with every Compaq computer and provide feedback on how computer users use the Message Advisor. These messages appear occasionally and instruct and advise users on their computer and its use. They generally attempt to get you (these messages) to connect to Compaq's website. They may be safely disabled via (1) MSCONFIG or (2) Start - Programs - Compaq Advisor - Advisor Settings under the "advanced" tab. Not required and can cause problems

Windows Process Information
A process is an instance of a computer program that is being sequentially executed. A computer program itself is just a passive collection of instructions, while a process is the actual execution of those instructions. Several processes may be associated with the same program, for example opening up two windows of the same program typically means two processes are being executed.
Task Manager
The task manager program can be used to display information about the processes and programs running on a computer, as well as the general status of the computer. It can also be used to terminate processes and programs, as well as change the processes' priority.
Task manager can be accessed on Microsoft Windows PC's by holding the 'ctrl' 'alt' and 'delete' buttons simultaneously. In Windows XP and beyond, the 'ctrl' 'shift' and 'esc' buttons also access the task manager.
