When you say "Turn Off", what are you talking about?  The Turn Off button in the menu you get from Start->Turn off computer?

If you happen to be interested in learning what is running on your computer, open up the processes (Ctrl + Alt + Del) and googling every one. Usually you'll get a decent answer to what each process is, whether it's necessary and how to remove it if its bad or useless.  It's a little bit of work, but you can learn a lot that way.
