Apart from the programs own auto start points..
This is what I would do;
Apple> System Preferences> Accounts> Login Items
That is your user accounts auto-load list..

(I recommend you have a backup,
or only delete files you are confident you do not need)
Check these folders;
MacHD/Library/Launch Daemons/
MacHD/Library/Startup Items/

What I would do is Open up your hard drive and do a search for anything related to your programs and delete.
If that helps than your off to a good start. If you still have a lot of processes going than open up a Terminal Window and type in:
"Top" (no quotes)
A list of processes will show up. On the left hand corner you will see a column that says "PID". Check the numbers you want to kill. After you've written down the processes you want to kill hit "control Z."
Next type
"Kill" PID#
for example,
Kill 223
Kill 224
Kill 185
You get the picture. Good luck
