Processes running in and out why

I do not understand most if not all of the process names the only one that I changed was my name to me but otherwise this is straight from what is eatting up the background of my cpu.


any help to let me know that its normal or that I may have to look at stuff or get something would be more then helpful thanks

the other part is what is going in and out on the network
