41 running processes 0_0

i have 41 processes running, i have no idea what any of them do besides the obvious, like firewall/internet. How can i findout what all the other ones do, and if i can disable them, and how do i actually go about disabling them.

normally i wouldnt care, but im pretty sure all that crap is wasting precious resources i could be using towards games.

thanks for any responces

Got to this site and download HiJack This.

Please read the tutorial before using, as it will make changes to your registry to rid yourself of parasites.

If you have had any contact with CoolWebPages, you may want to also use his CWShredder utility.

Hijack This has "mouseover" bubble hints, and a forum to post your log, and get help.

I first used it on a friend's machine that had 59 processes running, 100% cpu usage, and couldn't even get online.

Managed to get all the unwanted processes removed without hacking the resigtry myself.
