for wnad.exe check out this link. it's spyware type stuff from installing online games

qttask.exe is quicktime related...you can uncheck it, you don't need quicktime startup running all the time

winampa.exe is winamps startup thingy as well...it runs so winamp starts quicker. you don't need it either

so in other words, uncheck EVERYTHING you've mentioned.
