Unlike Windows, applications do not close on Mac completely if you hit on CROSS (X) button as it would be still running in he background. In order to close the program completely, use Command + Shift + ESC, and this will kill its background process too.

Just like in Windows, there are several processes running in the background so that hardware and software work smoothly, called as daemons. You can use a free app, Lingon in order to handle these services so that you can get things right.
