Everything in that first screenshot

 

Except for Cyberlink PowerDirector and PowerDVD, if you wanna use that. Keep Google Chrome, Leave Intel Graphicsdriver.

 

Uninstall that crappy McAfee products, Pokki Start Menu, WildTangent Games.

 

 

After you uninstall all of that, Download ADWCleaner and run that program, Also run Ccleaner for junk removal and registry fixups.

 

That is all! :D

So I just got a new laptop from acer for school and I was just wondering what apps on my list do a absolutely need to keep and which ones can I just get rid of?
 
I know obviously not to get rid of the intel stuff and the Microsoft stuff but I don't know what is required to make my computer run properly on here.

How do Reavers clean their spears?

|Specs in profile|

The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

Get rid of chrome and reinstall it; they will have tracking cookies on it so they get advertising kickback!
