backround apps, starting randomly

im sure this has been asked before but i couldnt find what i needed. So i have a sony ion. and lately apps just start up in the backround. I have advnced task killer and after killing the apps they start back up within seconds. and what reallys makes me wonder is that they are apps ive never used, but i cant delete them because they are ones preloaded on the phone. this is killing my battery life. is there anything i can do to stop these apps?
 
I lost my links, but here is a quick run down

1. Uninstall task killer. That kills your battery, not the background apps. The more you kill tasks, the more your battery dies.

2. The apps starting in the background are NOT killing your battery. They are simply cached to RAM and not using any battery at all. Any process running in the background is flagged as either a necessary service or something

3. Let Android manage itself. It's designed to load apps immediately to RAM for less battery usage and faster operation.
 
Pre-installed apps you don't want you'd disable.
Settings, Apps, All, choose the app and tap the Disable button. With some apps you might have to uninstall their updates before.
