66 seems a bit too high, hard to say which ones needed turning off without a screen shot, but one thing I tell you is not to stop those process with a 'system' tag on it.

Download HijackThis

Once you have it installed run a scan and save a log file.
email the log file to me and I will tell you what you can remove
email: callatech@internode.on.net

Can you tell us what processes are running, or give us a screenshot? In most cases 66 is definately not normal.
