task killer auto killer?

I want a task killer that automatically kills processes when they load. Some apps like HTC sense and the built in messanger app I would love having them killed instantly, is there one that i can get? Before you say, yes the Eris DOES need a task killer. Asked any eris user, once it gets below 30 MB of ram, it slows down to a near halt. They majority of thos for me is processes that load without me telling them too, and ons that I never use, such as htc sense or the default messager apps. I'm rooted btw.
 
I use Open Advanced Task Killer (free, Android Marked).

I had read many say that it don't do any difference, but in the short time I have owned my phone, I see a difference. I think it all depends on the apps you are using. Many of mine, don't shut down when exiting and keeps staying on. The task killer constantly kills these (including a music player that slows my Android down). If the battery last longer, I don't know yet...

PS! I have deselected 3G to save battery. At normal use, I don't need 3G.

I think Advanced Task Killer (not the Free version) has an auto-end feature. There are a couple others that to do, too. Sorry, not using task killers so much anymore so I can't provide any more info.

It's correct that the free version don't kill the app when it starts. But, if you can live with it, you can set it to kill it after half an hour.

Have you tried to remove the apps you don't want started?

It's a bit more complicated than that... the ones I don't want are the ones that come by default. HTC Sense, and stuff like Messages I don't want.
