From the Help file:
"Some programs, particularly install programs, ask you to terminate all
other programs before proceeding. Often it's sufficient just to close
visible applications like your browser or database. Sometimes, though, they
really want you to terminate all
programs (except for Explorer and the system tray). This is an extreme
step, but sometimes you just can't avoid it.
In Windows 95 or Windows 98, you terminate a program by pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Del, selecting the item in the task list, and clicking End Task.
You have to tediously repeat this process for each program. You don't have
to reinvoke the Task Manager in Windows NT for each program, but its display
can be confusing. In either case, it can be hard to tell just what each item
in the task list represents. Who would guess that "msimn" is Outlook
Express, or that "rnaapp" is Dial-Up Networking?!
EndItAll handles the job with the click of a button. It does its best to
terminate every program except Explorer, the system tray, and itself. Its
main window lets you know exactly what's happening."
So it doesn't do anything magic but is just a short cut and is ideal for a
luminary of the Institute of the Technologically Impaired as it shows you
which tasks can safely be closed down.

It's something to download that shuts down all non-essential programs to
free up as many resources as possible for your games.
Take a look at your system tray (probably bottom right hand corner by the
clock). If you've got a load of icons there then you have a load of
programs running.....
You can get it in loads of places, including

Run msconfig and turn it off by stopping it form loading permanently
under the startup tab. Just run the virus checker manually in the
future. I use F-Prot (free dos version) and it loads nothing into
memory except when I want it to scan.

To get rid the shutdown problem, try disabling the Advance Power Management in
the control panel. Win9x sucks when it tries to do that... :(
