These programs run in the background when iTunes is closed. ITunes normally installs several helper programs such as iTunesHelper.exe, and the Bonjour service.

What I would like to do though, is find a way to install iTunes in such a way that it has absolutely no effect on my system when it is closed. I don't like iTunes, but I can live with using it to buy/manage media and sync my Apple devices when the program is open. I've not used iTunes in more than 6 months, since I bought a new computer. I'm buying a new iPad, which means I must once again install iTunes.
