Besides musicxp which is great, I also find these sites occasionally
useful to find out what processes seen in Task Manager do:

You usually don't want to terminate things randomly, but it may
identify applications you were't aware of running in the background.

This is also a good tool to determine what gets run every time
you boot.

If you see something listed that doesn't identify a manufacturer, 
it may be a piece of spyware.
