Verizon is my DSL carrier and I have an app for reconnecting/troubleshooting. Almost never used. It is not in the start up menu but it is seen in task manager taking up a significant amount of resources. Not seen in services either. How can this be stopped... I do need the resources.

Perhaps there is a log which details when it ran; you might find it is called quite often. Or not. If you use TM to stop it you will discover eventually whether it is required to be running. Or not. Someone familiar with verizon's software on a dedicated site may be able to tell you how to stop it permanently.
