most of the programs you have listed are of paramount importance for the day to day running of your pc. if you are not sure leave it alone and run malware checkers for now instead

Never be afraid to do your best work and let the

Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid.


Turn off the recommended settings.

I'd go for saying the same as Triplex.

You probably find you have a lot of Malware/Spyware.
Run Malwarebytes to sort that out.
Then run Ccleaner to give everything a good clear up

Personally I do not think any of these programs are of paramount importance to any pc and you could uninstall all of them.

Yep, agreed.

And if removing them makes no difference they can always be re-installed.

Whatever you do, don't uninstall any of the Intel or Microsoft stuff listed.

But tbh best suggestions were mentioned earlier - malware check and run Crap Cleaner. A defrag wouldn't hurt either.

comodo internet security = delete or not - Yes and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials.

Everything i quoted you can uninstall. The rest you want to leave, they are a lot of system drivers and will cause more hassle than good if you remove.


Need to know though, has the machine always been slow? What at the specs? How old is it?
