I got them processes running. A HUGE amount. Thought I'd come here and show them to yall in case you can give me some info as to what they do and which ones I should shut down...

and if so, which service or file I need to delete or disable or uninstall in order to get the .exe to stop running for nothing.

Refer to SCREENIE:

imagur
 
lolclient.exe = League of Legends Client; should not be running all the time
cam_client.exe = not sure what that is
storm.exe = don't know what that is
adobe flash plugin executable = eh, wot? Maybe required in FireFox but I know an executable doesn't run in IE Flash.
lolpatcher.exe = League of Legends Patcher; should not be running all the time
rocketdock.exe = ?????
plugin-container.exe = claims to be more Firefox
Another flash plugin, wtf?
lollauncher.exe = turn off league of legends already!
ttsystray.exe = ???
rads_user_kernel.exe = ????
MSI_afterburner = obviously you know what that's about
RTSS.exe = part of Afterburner/EVA software
hwinfo64.exe = Hardware Info, probably shouldn't be running all of the time.

The rest are normal/critical. As far as I'm concerned, all of the above can be terminated.

the red could be disabled, so you can run it manually
but, does it affect you pc performance? like slow
if not just leave it just disable some
 
CAM_Client.exe is for the new NZXT CAM monitoring software, also controls the lights in the newer closed loop coolers from them.
 
ttsystray must be keyboard/mouse software.
Rocketdock = application launcher.

Adobe flash = should not be running at all times.
Rads_user_kernel.exe is part of LOL

plugin-container.exe = this seems fishy to me, i use FF and that is not running on FF 33/34. Mine is called "Plugin Container for Firefox (32-bit)" on Win 8.1

plugin-conatiner.exe is a part of firefox that I have always had......dunno what it does, clearly something with addons, but I could only guess as to the specific's. Win 7 same as OP's listed process name.

The process is "plugin-container.exe", the description is "Plugin Container for Firefox". Nothing strange there.

Anyway 54 processess is nothing. I have 95 ATM. It is good to have an idea about what's going on, but if none of them causes trouble I'd say let it be.
