When I bought my laptop, it came with a lot of possibly unnecessary things with it, which is very wasteful of space and junk to me. Here are a list of things I suspect is unnecessary and not important, but I'm not sure what it will do to my computer if I do remove it. I'm using Revo Uninstaller to remove even all the traces from registry and all that.


Apple Mobile Device Support
Atheros Driver Installation
Bonjour
Cisco EAP-FAST module
Cisco LEAP module
Cisco PEAP Module
Conexant HD Audio
Cyberlink DVD suite
HDAUDIO Soft Data fax modem with Smart PC
HP Doc viewer
HP DVD play 3.7
HP Help and Support (I really don't use window's built in help and support a lot, I use Google)
HP Photosmart essentials
HP quick launch button 6.4 D3
HP smart web printing
HP update
HP user guides 0110
HP wireless assistant
HPTCSSetup
LabelPrint
Microsoft .Net framework 3.5 SP1
Microsoft SQL server 2008 management objects
Microsoft Works (I have Microsoft office installed and use that)
MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB954430)
MSXML 4.0 SP2 Parser and SKD
NetWaiting
SeekService 1.0 build 119

I'm using Window vista home premium and my system is a service pack 2.
I only use my computer for general use like browsing the web, viewing pictures, watching videos, chatting, Facebook, etc. nothing big. So please tell me which of those programs are safe to completely remove from my computer.

Make sure that it's really safe. Thanks

Would run each of these apps and check them out to see if they are something you may like to keep or maybe use in the future.

HP Photosmart essentials
LabelPrint
Cyberlink DVD suite
HPTCSSetup - really not needed once your PC is setup
Cisco LEAP module+ - safely remove
Cisco PEAP Module - safely remove
Cisco EAP-FAST module - safely remove
SeekService - safely remove


Microsoft Works (I have Microsoft office installed and use that)
-Works is not the same as office and if it came with your computer, it will probably only work for 30 days unless you purchase it as was more than likely installed as a 30 day trial
(Same with office unless you installed your own office)


Bonjour description
A useful and free application which allows you to easily network your Windows computer to an existing network
Bonjour for Windows is a useful and free tool that allows you to easily network your Windows computer to an existing network or create instant networks of multiple devices without any additional network configuration.

NetWaiting
Netwaiting is software installed with some dial-up modems, it "provides a mechanism to suspend a dialup internet connection on the modem line while the user uses the line for a voice communication." Basically it's so you can be online then, if someone actually tries to phone you, the modem will automatically disconnect so the phone rings and you can talk to whomever's calling you. This is only for dial-up though, if you're on broadband then Netwaiting is completely unnecessary.


would suggest you keep the help and support, you may not manually use it but the system does use it when needed
