Running Processes... what do I not need?

Hi folks. Seems since I upgraded to XP pro, my pc takes longer to boot (or, I should say, after the desktop comes up and seems ready, things like IE or my connection will not open for a minute or two).
Here's a shot of my running processes (24 of them, although when I checked now, there's 32). Is there anything here I don't need in the background or is bad?

Thanks,

 

Your defwatch.exe

Process Name: NAV CE Server/Client - DefWatch
Description: Background application that detects out-of-date virus definitions for Norton Anti-Virus software and runs the Defwatch Wizard. Required only if you don't update the virus definitions manually on a regular basis.

Jusched.exe
Process Name: Sun Java Update Scheduler
Description: Application that is an update scheduler. The application checks the Sun site to see if newer Java versions are available.



You can disable this by going to your control panel and bringing up the java control panel and deselecting automatic updates.


Realsched.exe
Put there unconditionally when RealOne is installed, stays there, and is recreated/updated when RealOne is started if you try to delete or change it. There is no option to disable this behaviour, although there IS an option within RealOne which supposedly makes it actively do stuff only when RealOne is being executed.

This is under "Internet Settings" as "Only perform automatic services while RealOne Player is in use". When you try to Enabling this option, it begs you not to. When you enable it, it still DOES NOT remove the above registry key, however the evntsvc.exe process is terminated when RealOne is exited, and from that point on is started and closed in tandem with RealOne.

I am truly tired of the invasion this particular program creates. I do not like how it wants to take over so I got good news if you want to do it

there is an alternative and that is the one I use.
