Ok guys,
I have approx 66 proccess at the mo, and some of them i have never seen before and whenever i try to end them they say access denied.
Tell me if any of the look suspicious to you. Thanks
Nathan

Do an adware scan with spybot... then start in safe mode and run another scan using adaware...

Could you please make that a thumbnail or something? You're messing with the forum design Or maybe just rid the picture of the useless stuff on the right

Yeah, but its not ok that he cant stop them...

Nathan,

Please do two things:

1) Close all your open programs.  Right click icons for any things you have running in the system tray and try to close them.  When you've closed everything there is to close, take your screenshots again and repost them. 

2) Please scan your computer with some antispyware product, such as Spybot S&D or Windows Defender.

Ok here you are:

Here's a run down of what each process is, to the best of my knowledge:

iPodService.exe - For iPods - probably comes with iTunes (and people wonder why I hate iTunes...)
NMBgMonitor.exe - To do with Nero, you can safely disable it with MSConfig
wmiprvse.exe - Windows Management Instrumenation - a system process.
ctfmon.exe - Windows Advanced Text Services, it can be disabled but it's harmless.
taskmgr.exe - Hint: When you close the Task Manager, this goes away
SNDSrvc.exe - Symantec - Related to Norton. There are a few services similar to this, which is why people say Norton products are memory hogs.
alg.exe - Application Layer Gateway service. Used when your PC is functioning as a gateway for other computers on a network, can be disabled with services.msc safely if this is *NOT* the case.
wuauclt.exe - Windows Update Client, for automatic updates.
avgcc.exe - AVG Anti-Virus control center. If you use AVG, personally I'd recommend uninstalling Norton.
iTunesHelper.exe - iTunes again... memory waste.
wdfmgr.exe - Windows User Mode Driver Framework, used by drivers which use this framework.
PCMService.exe - Apparently it's related to Dell Media Experience, can be safely removed with MSConfig.
ULCDRSvr.exe - Ulead DVD Workshop related service. It's probably required to run this program.
slserv.exe - "Installed alongside Smartlink communication products and offers additional support to the modem service." If you have a Smartlink product, leave it well alone.
nvsvc32.exe - nVidia Desktop Service. I'd actually recommend you disable this using services.msc - it can actually be a pain.
Hidservice.exe - Human Interface Device Service, usually started when you have fancy input devices.
CLMLService.exe - Cyberlink MediaLibrary, at first I thought this was spyware, but apparently it's to do with a media program. It uses a lot of RAM though, so I'd recommend uninstalling it (it's PowerDVD or something) and replacing it with something like VLC which doesn't install any services.
CLMLServer.exe - Same again.
CLCapSvc.exe - I'm guessing, but it's probably the Video Capture service for Cyberlink programs.
avgemc.exe - AVG AV Related.
avgupsvc.exe - AVG AV Related.
avgamsvr.exe - AVG AV Related.
AOLacsd.exe - Probably related to AOL...
RTHDCPL.exe - Realtek Audio Control Panel
svchost.exe - Windows Service Host... there is more than one instance of this because most Windows Services spawn from it.
explorer.exe - Windows Explorer, also controls the start menu and desktop icons.
jusched.exe - Java Runtime Update Scheduler... I have this on my system, I can't figure out how to disable it .
SDMCP.exe - Stardock Themes Customization related.
ccApp.exe - Norton product related.
spoolsv.exe - Printer Spooler (stores documents before they're printed).
lsass.exe - Windows Service - hopefully you've patched from WU, because lsass is the cause of the sasser virus (*BUT* if you've patched it is actually an essential windows service!)
services.exe - Windows Service.
winlogon.exe - Windows Service.
csrss.exe - Windows Service.
smss.exe - Windows Service.
ccEvtMgr.exe - Norton Product Related.
SPBBCSvc.exe - Norton Product Related.
ISSVC.exe - Norton Internet Security Related.
ccSetMgr.exe - Norton Product Related.
CLSched.exe - Cyberlink Product Related.
rundll32.exe - Windows Run DLL as Exe program, I haven't a clue what this could be running .
System - Duh.
System Idle Process - I don't really know, but it gives an indication of how much free CPU there is

It's a big list, but apart from memory hogs such as Norton and Cyberlink stuff, I don't actually see anything nasty.
