  I've never been able to figure out how do do that. One of them is ver 3.6 and the others are ver 3.3. When I try to disable one of them I get the "Error! You cannot deactivate this module. It is a mandatory core module, and is needed by the system." message.

  Try the MEdicula module, should let you clean up the database and other internal info.

  Thanks Hal! I was able to remove the extra Modules (the ver 3.3) and also removed at the undefined database tables. Hopefully this will help.
  Also, how do I activate all the articles that are pending in News? I know I have to do it in zk_news > pn_published_status. What argument in phpMyAdmin would I use to do this?

  Here's the latest from my web host...
  
  Your account still has CPU spikes, although they are not as long as before. However, your processes are still leaving zombie processes on the server. This usually indicates an error with the PHP coding.
  
  What is a zombie process? One that wanders around going "Brrrrraaaaiiinnnnsssss"?

  I disagree. Zombie processes are crashed processes which can not be recovered by the system. IMHO they are indicative of a bad/buggy PHP installation. No matter what your PHP script does, it should not crash the PHP/http process.
  
  This is similar a buggy application crashing your operating system. Yes, your application may be buggy, but if it crashes the OS, this points to an underlying flaw in the OS ...

  Well, my web host has dropped the bomb...
  
  Your account has been suspended for TOS violation (excessive resources usage) to preventother users on the server from being negatively affected.
  
  PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
  24120 nort7357 18 0 205m 33m 7912 R 97.4 0.4 0:01.06 /usr/bin/php /home/nort7357/public_html/index.php
  23333 nort7357 17 0 204m 32m 7888 R 74.5 0.4 0:00.76 /usr/bin/php /home/nort7357/public_html/index.php
  23305 nort7357 18 0 0 0 0 Z 9.8 0.0 0:01.62 [PHP]
  
  Is there any way I can figure out what's using up so many resources on my site? I really don't want this happening again.
