When I start up Postgre (installed as service during startup) y always have
4 postgres.exe processes on background.
Without having local or remotes connections (like external clients or
applications)after a few minutes i got more than 30 postgres.exe pocesses in
memory (run by admin 0% CPU and 60K of memory usage)

If i leave my pc on for hours instead of minutes, i got more than 200
postgres.exe bck processes

This is normal. Postmaster, bgwriter, stats collector and stats
bufferer.

You are sure there are no connections at all?
If you connect to the server with psql and do a "select * from
pg_stat_activity", do they show up?
Do you get anything in the log, either in the pg_log directory or in the
eventlog?
