Vista cleanup log#1

[Monkey Proof]

originally i was going to do a clean install of Vista in order to get rid of the excess and unwanted programs that came pre-installed. but i was told that the restore disc's from HP will only put everything back as they were, so i'll have to remove things manually. more time consuming but oh-well. already i see quite a few things to remove.

Your log is clean, though I would recommend using avast over Avira.
