lags computer like mad

wmccds is necessary for the XBox360 to access media files on your computer. You can easily disable it by renaming its folder when it is not in use. Just remember to restore the original name when you want the XBox360 to access your media files.

Seems to be the Windows Media Connect process isnt a risk at all
uiaad

it connects to XBOX 360 so that XBOX can use files from server. It does lag the Server quite a bit even when the Xbox is not on.
Hammer

It is _not_ only for XBox360, it is the general Windows Media Sharing feature and needed for UPnP\DLNA. It will scan all shared media files after each boot, how long this takes depends on how many files are shared. You can safely disable\kill it but the file list in UPnP will be incomplete.
