It is Windows Vista Home Premium... so its not unknown...

also is there any items not needed to be in the list and is safe for him to remove...

Thanks Again..

JMac & Dean

Looks fine. May not need things like BigFix or ShowWnd.

Ok...

Are they not needed?

if not then we will remove them somehow :happybday:

No, they're not needed. You can uninstall BigFix in Add/Remove programs.

Ok We Removed BigFix..

what about ShowWnd?

Simply removing it from msconfig or Autoruns will suffice. :happybday:

Removed from startup now

Can you check our other thread... for your opinions on security apps...
