It depends what you have installed on your computer.

For the most part, many applications install programs as a service to
monitor the activity of the computer. Such program examples:

- Anti-virus software
- Printer software
- Instant Messengers
- etc..

If you see something that looks odd, in your opinion, then take the name of
the process and search for it on Google. There's a pretty good comprehensive
list of what processes are valid and what they do.
