Kelly, Have you checked to be certain Windows Update is completely up to date? Also, is there any chance that your virus scanner and/or your malware scanner are set to run scans more often than necessary? How long does your machine stay booted up before you shut down? If the virus scans never complete, they may be starting up each time that your computer starts, and scans like that do affect resources even though they are certainly needed sometime. Also, do you have any automatic or scheduled disk defragmenting scheduled? You mentioned iTunes Helper. Do you have iTunes Match, and could it be uploading a large music library to match?
If you are fairly certain you don't have a virus or malware of some kind, you might consider letting the computer run overnight in case any of the above are running and don't ever finish. It is hard for me to imagine that disabling some of the things you are considering are going to make much of a difference, so I wonder if something is running in the background that is taking resources.
