Task Manager lists all the programs that could run. The CPU column shows what is actually taking processor time. The Idle System processes are all the required system operations, and is usually at 95-100%. Processes that show more than 0% are doing something. The most active processes are generally anti-virus and spyware scans. If something shows a high continuing usage, you may have a problem.
