That just means 80% of your cpu is not being used. There is no task to end. You can also jump to task manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc which is quicker depending on your OS

AVGAS.EXE is your AVG Anti Spyware. If you end it's process, it won't be working and doing it's job anymore.

shaneinsane, there's a website called answersthatwork.com that will help explain some of the processes that run on your computer, just click on the tab Tasks then any letter that a process begins with. It's a pretty handy site, especially if you're a newby.
