After downloading quick access, did you instal it?
Open Task Manager and click on the purple info icon next to whatever process you want to know about, your browser will open and tell you in detail about that process.

my parents other laptop (Toshiba 1.7 Ghz Celeron M, 512 RAM) has 65 processes, because it has Toshiba's preloaded junk, and Norton Internet Security 05 on it. It runs pretty sluggish, way worse than in store.

I have mcafee as well, and I know that accounts for many of the processes, and I completely understand that. And like it has already been said, a lot of this stuff is probably from dell.
