To view all processes running got to Task Manager. Contol, Alt, Delete. Choose the processes tab. You can kill anthing that is not necessary for the computer to have running all of the time (itunes, adobe photoshop, updates for java, quicktime, etc). Since I don't know what it running, I don't know how to advise you further. I usually have about 40 processes running (too many for me really, but it is stuff I really need, so I try not to get too uptight- just makes the computer boot slower).
Also, you could have some viruses. Sounds like you need to do a system scan, registry clean, and dump the temp, cookies, other trash, etc.
