Active apps is replacement for Samsung task manager / Program monitor that comes with TouchWiz Launcher.
A short explanation of how it works.
What are active apps?
Those are applications that have tasks running in background. since they have tasks running, they will consume CPU and hence affecting performance and battery life.
Why not task killer?
Task killer lists all programs residing in memory not the running app. It doesn't provide a pointer as to which is necessary to kill and confuse users with so many apps showing. a normal question will ask on Task Killer, i didn't open this program why does it show as running?
Here is a nice program to do that even though it's ads supported it provides no less functionality than the full app:
