running apps

[ang_isle]

I have an app killer installed, and it works great, but what are the running apps that I see under my settings? 

Do I have to keep them running?   Examples are:  PVWmdrmProxy, sound set, PVWmdrmService, etc. 

What happens if I stop those apps? 

Also, how do I delete apps?  Some I cannot delete, such as skype. 

Thanks!

A number of the apps you are speaking about are system apps and they should not be closed because the device need them to work....  Keep in mind that Task Killers can cause a number of issues if you do not use them carefully...  Also most of the apps you close will auto open again if the system needs the app sp you can fight against the system on keeping them closed..

The best thing to use is System Panel because the kill option on this app doesnt allow you normally to close system apps...  Check it out at https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel&feature=search_result
