You should see what percentage of your memory each application uses. Consider getting rid of some of the programs that use a lot of memory even though you don't need them.
If you see any programs that you do not recognize in this list, look up the name of these applications online. You might find that some of these applications are actually malware and need to be eliminated. You will probably find that most applications are harmless even though they use up your resources.
You should run a scan with an antivirus to find and eliminate malware. Malware and adware can slow down your computer and cause other issues. You should always have your antivirus turned on and should update it regularly. If you do not have a good antivirus program, it is time to invest in one or to download a free antivirus.
