Answer 2

Do a Google search for each one of those programs so you'll have a better idea of what they are and what they do. Some of those will disable things you will want to keep to use. Example, "broadcam 440x 10/100 integrated controller" may disable your web cam.



A lot of those toolbars are add-on for your browser(s). Waste of resources having them if you don't use them.



CCleaner and the free Revo Uninstaller are great tools to uninstall programs as they'll get the remnants that the program's own uninstaller doesn't remove. Use Windows Disc Cleaner and the Options tab to remove old Restore Points. Be sure to use the Defrag program after all cleaning has been done.
