What you need is the autostarts app. Get it from market.

Don't bother. Android will kill them if you ever need memory

it's fine. That's how android works. it keeps app in memory and kill them when needed.
so dont worry

so its better not to install apps like Advance Task killer or autostarts apps?
Is it ok to leave it on and let android decide when to kill it? Because if I leave them on, they eat by RAM & battery very fast.

Also leaving it on makes the phone laggy...

Pls guide...

If u have many apps running, then kill the apps ...some apps don't restart...it helps reduce the lagging....if there are only few apps running then don't bother...if u use task killers excessively then ur battery will surely get drained

Normally you shouldn't have to use an application such as "Advanced Task Killer". Android is unix based so it should handle pretty good with apps that are "not doing anything but running in the background".

What you can do is try to exit some apps properly (not just pressing the back button) by going to the menu and actually clicking on the "Quit" if it's available.
