Would quitting a background process via applescript clear the "nasty

short answer, no, a background process and an extension are
different, though at times they may be related. if an
extension does do a system patch (not all do), there's no
way i know of to remove that patch except to reboot with the
extension off. sometimes all an extension does, though, is
run a background process. in that case it might be helpful
to quit such a process.
this is assuming you're not talking about Mac OS X. on X the
whole scenario is different. extensions (KEXTs) are not
"patches", they are simply I/O drivers that run at the
kernel level. KEXTs can be turned off on the fly, though i
don't have the relevant shell commands at my fingertips.
