Check out Process Explorer. It can arrange processes in a parental hierarchy, so you can see at a glance what process started what.
Plus it has a ton of other useful features (such as inspecting a program's launch parameters- this will also help you identify what is starting python) and can be set to replace the Task Manager.
On Windows, Using process monitor may help you. There, the Process tree tool shows relationship between processes

Look in /etc/rc.d/* for it..
Also check /etc/rc.local
You could also just add a line to /etc/rc.local, like "killall synergyc" - though if that's called too soon, then it won't help - so you could write a cron script for that. Yeah, it's kinda messy.
