I udnerstand that when I install or uninstall, I should not have any programs
running. I close down my virus protection (and get off the net). I check
task manager, which shows no programs running. However, there are many
processes listed (30-40). Should I close all of those ,esepcially since I
don't know what they are or what they do?

No. If all applications are closed that is enough.

All you need to do is to temporarily disable your antivirus
program when installing programs. Attempting to disable
background services will not be beneficial.
