Answer 1

OK here is the thing. I specialize in speeding up and tuning up Windows based systems especially XP. I do VISTA and Windows 7 as well. I know what you are trying to do free up hard disc space on C: your hard drive. The tricky thing here is that some programs need other programs to function, they have a symbiotic relationship they work with each other. I have many a time in my learning process thought I could delete one program for space and speed and it was related to another program.



I would suggest a better approach is looking at the amount of RAM you have and seeing if you can add more. That can boost your speed. If you are on XP you want to to a disk defragmentation as well and disc cleanup on a routine basis. I see you have CC Cleaner which is a great program. You can select registry and scan for issues to safely clean the registry and fix them that will also help you. Use CC Cleaner too on a regular basis. You need all these programs with the exception of Google Chrome, Comodo Geek Buddy and Comodo Internet Security; however Im not saying take it off First off if you paid for it the get your moneys worth. Hope that helps you out. Find out If Comodo geek buddy gives you free technical support, most likely they will want to charge you money for tech support, since Im a nice guy you get all this for free!! As a general rule anything by your computer manufacturer and Microsoft is a necessity

Answer 3

If you have Windows, the object dock comes in a fun package for your PC which allows you to have a much cleaner desktop and organized program tabs on the screen or hidden around the corners. I use it myself to make it look like a Mac environment :)

Answer 4

Do NOT uninstall ANY of these, they will all either lose functionality on your machine or affect security.

Codomo is not that necessary and is not that effective. Instead of Codomo I recommend Kaspersky Internet Security.



Remainder all are very necessary. Some of them are hardware drivers and others are Microsoft essentials.



Do not uninstall anything except the once mentioned above and if you decide to remove codomo make sure you have kaspersky with you before you do so.
