Yes, you certainly do. But the processes represent, in part, programs and apps you have on the Startup list. These programs start when you boot and run in the background.
LEAVE ALL THE SVCHOST.EXE PROCESSES WHEREVER THEY SHOW.
Leave the following running:
Firefox.exe- your browser
taskmgr.exe, System and System Idle- show whenever Task Manager is open.
ccApp.exe- process belonging to Norton AntiVirus.
ccevtmgr.exe is a process belonging to Norton Internet Security Suite.
ccSetMgr.exe- part of Norton Internet Security or Norton Antivirus
aswUpdSv.exe and ashserv.exe is part of the Avast Anti-virus Suite
****** you should only be running "1" antivurus program. You show both Avast and Norton- stop and uninstall one of them!
LEXPPS.exe enables bi-directional printing over a peer to peer network. If the printer is connected directly to your PC, the file is not used
LEXBCES.exe part of Lexmark MarkVision software- Put this Service on Manual in the Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. IT is not safe for it to run all the time- if at all.
spools.exe for the printer.
alg.exe- application layer gateway for Windows OS
lsass.exe, services, winlogon.exe- all parts of the OS
vsmon.exe- process associated with the ZoneAlarm firewal
HPWirelessMgr.exe- wireless card in the notebook.
OneTouch.exe- keyboard driver. Required if you use the additional keys
SynTPEnh.exe and SynTPLpr.exe are for the touchpad for laptop.
As an example, I have 36 processes in my Task <Manager. These include startup with AV, touchpad for laptop, network service for my network.
You need to ID the other processes, then using the msconfig utility, stop everything EXCEPT the AV program- remember, you need to stop one of them-, firewall, touchpad for the laptop and network service- nothing else need to start up.
Here are some databases to help ID:
STARTUP APPLICATION DATABASE LIST
http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist.htm
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/startup/
Once identified: Start> Run> type in 'msconfig' without the quotes> Selective start-up> Startup tab> UNCHECK all but the AV, firewall, touchpad, network service> Apply> OK.
Reboot> Close the nag message that comes up after checking 'don't show this message again'.
This will take time, but you will start up faster and run better and you will be safer. For anything you aren't sure of, ID it then decide.
