    HELLLP! Why does my IE 11 have a TON of AMAZON cookies and scripts pre installed in my browser cookie cache? I delete and they come right back!!

    No matter what I've tried to do to get rid of them...and there are others pre installed also. COOKIES and I did not visit those sites.

    I've tried to opt out of every possible thing on Windows 10 so I will not be harassed by tracking and cookies. It appears that I have no privacy choices because this Windows 10 Acer is set up to thwart all my efforts. What can I do?

    system idle process is the amount of time your CPU is sitting idle and not doing anything.

    It's exactly what it says it is. Your CPU is idle, doing nothing, for 78% of the time. That added to the all the other running processes totals 100%.

    It's the other 22% that should concern you, that is processor usage.
