recently uninstalled catalyst, driversweeper, reboots, etc

still notice atieclxx.exe and atiesrxx.exe running.

after googling, i find that apparently it's an ongoing thing. so why are these services still left on the system to run when it's clear that i uninstalled teh catalyst suite because i wanted everything ati cleared out? is amd aware of this and what's their reasoning?

Get driver sweeper 3.2. The latest version will remove all ATI drivers, including what you mentioned.

You must run it in safe mode, then reboot

yea, i know how to fix it. but there's a big difference between leaving files behind after uninstall and having actively run services after explicit removal.
