:ohyeah: This tool might be useful, it is called X-Ray My PC scanner:

It finds all processes on your machine and gives descriptions and security risks for each of them. Task Manager does not show all the processes, plus virus files are designed not to show in the Task Manager; but X-ray will show them. If there is no description for a specific process, most likely it is a malicious process as well.
thanks :) i'll give it a shot
If you need detailed information on background process then try using System Explorer. This tool is amazing has smart way to find out all the hidden task in the system. It is one of the best tool I am using from long time. This program gives you all details in one place. It gives you location of process as well its registry details which is very helpful in troubleshooting things and locating security threats. It is not just limited to background process. It also give you detail about different addons which are working on Internet Explorer. I will recommend you to test this once.
Process Explorer is good according to me. It is fast and has better way to show information. This tool has process through which you can terminate many number of processes in your system. You can easy exit them and it will not give you any problem. Also if you want to find out what are the hidden processes working in your system you can find the same through it. Task Manager does not give you full details here. So tools like Process Explorer are great enough to fix problem. Along with this you can also install a good Tuneup tool.
