Type Caption Section File name Description
user Atheros Configuration Service acs.exe Possibly part of the Atheros 802.11b/g WiFi connectivity driver.
user atipolab ati2evae.exe ATI Polling Program - part of the ATI graphics driver e.g. on some Fujitsu-Siemens Notebooks
user CTHELPER CTHELPER.EXE CTHELPER is a background task that is a plug-in manager for Creative drivers. The theory is that 3rd party manufacturers can use the CTHELPER plug-in interface to produce drivers, add-on features, and fixes that will integrate with a tighter fit with Creative’s sound drivers and utilities. Given its purpose CTHELPER would normally be classified as a "leave alone" background task. It also allows Creative speaker setup to be synchronized with Windows Control Panel speaker setting. Without it running that check box in Creative speaker setting is not functional (settings are not in sync). Unfortunately there are often problems with CTHELPER, most notably that it can use 100% of CPU time so it's best left disabled unless you need it
user IAAnotif iaanotif.exe IAA Event Monitor User Notification Tool - part of Intel® Application Accelerator - "a performance software package for desktop PCs using select Intel® chipsets" that "replaces the ATA drivers that come with Windows with drivers optimized for desktop and mobile PCs." If you use the RAID version it's required to notify you if a RAID 1 disk has failed

user PGPSERVICE pgpservice.exe PGPservice.exe has two main purposes: (1) it handles a large part of the PGPnet functionality (along with the PGPnet driver) and (2) it allows efficient access to the PGP preferences database. The individual PGP modules normally access the preferences through PGPservice, but they are capable of a "fall-back" mode where they can handle such access on their own. Thus, if you are not running PGPnet, you may not immediately notice much of a difference if you disable PGPservice. If you are running PGPnet, you will notice a big difference
user SATARaid SATARaid.exe RAID driver for serial ATA disks on some motherboards such as the DFI Lanparty range. Only loaded if one is using RAID support on SATA drives
user zcfgsvc ZCfgSvc.exe Zero Config MFC Application, part of Intel’s ProSET utilities and installed by the drivers for many of Intel wireless network cards - essential to the proper functioning of many of the Intel ProSET utilities (but not all) and these System Tray ProSET utilities are a must if you are using your wireless connection, if only so you know when the signal is fading or dropping.
