TasKiller - questions

[Tabs]

I'm seeing a few strange entries in TasKiller, stuff like:

com.google.android.apps.maps:FriendService and a couple other ones with long cryptic names like that. They won't end in any way other than through force kill and when I do that, they come right back.

Any way to tell what these things actually are and what's launching them?

On a more general note, is something like TasKiller really necessary even? When my Droid first boots up, it has a huge number of things in the TasKiller list... this is normal?

Thanks!

I think the FriendService is part of Google Maps Latitude.

I think the FriendService is part of Google Maps Latitude.

I don't even have that set up or enabled, should it actually be running despite that?
