I tried to install a driver but it had so many grabage apps that were downloaded also. Do i have to remove them one by one?

 

EDIT: I am just looking to remove them in a faster way.

You must have installed it via a 3rd party website that bundles crapware with a driver.

^^^^ What he said.

 

Do a full uninstall and find a more legit source to download from.

One thing you can do (Caution! not for beginners!) is to go into you registry and search for the software and delete what you find. BUT I caution you if you do this wrong you will bust your OS.

1. Don't download drivers from 3rd party sources. You could cop a very nasty rootkit.

2. Uninstall everything one-by-one and run ccleaner and then follow this guide completely http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/90213-malware-removal-guide/ on how to remove malware.

 

very time consuming I know but you don't want to take risks
