You don't need a program to do that. Just select and click "End process" for which ever processes aren't needed.

As for which ones you don't need, I believe there are many websites out there that list only the needed/necessary/system processes so you can kill all the others. It might even tell you if a certain process is malicious or not.

That should help get back the precious system resources that Windows eats up so greedily.

Spaz,
go to add remove programs get rid of all the shit you don't need.

Then got to start-run- and type in MSCONFIG

click the startup tab on the far right
uncheck all of the programs you know what they are. Stuff like qtask for quick time ect....
