Paraphrased from AdAware's Help file (Performing System Scan section):

Running processes are loaded into memory and active.

Process modules are any processes scanned by AdAware - running or not. A
process can have one or more files associated with it.
 
the processes are the varios programs which load on start up, i close down a
few and my pc seems to surf faster via cable and ie or firefox. if you eng
the wrong process windows shuts you down you get the same message every time
you shut down a process but i do not need ituneshelper hogging precious
memory so i shut it down + others trial and error
