First off, thanks for the site. Seems like it was time to offload Norton, plus there was quite a bit of spyware I hadn't detected. So, how's it look?

Wow, that reminds me of the stuff on my dads HP laptop, only that his is AMD not Intel. It is new laptop with Vista, but it is full with pre-installed junk and it is slow as hell. I have an 8 year old computer that performs better.

It popups every minute asking if you want take part of getting crap software, you can select "Don't display this again" and if you do, it will still bother you anyway all the time. You can't install it, because if you try uninstall the "HP Customer Experience Blah" thing, it says something like "Setup error, cant uninstall" or something along those lines.

I called HP and asked whats up with all that junk, and they're like "Uhm, thats software from HP's business partners to enhance customer service" or something like that. I asked them to send a Vista CD without the junk, and they wouldn't. It didn't even come with a CD, they said I had to burn a CD from the recover partition (which would be a CD with the junk pre-installed).

I uninstalled all the Norton/Symantec stuff, and installed Avast which I see you have installed too.

C:\WINDOWS\RTHDCPL.EXE

This is the "Realtek HD Audio Control Panel" for the integrated on-board audio chipset. I have removed it from start-up and can still play audio, so it seems to have no effect to remove it. Saved me about 25 mb RAM.

C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\HPWuSchd2.exe

On my dads laptop, this I uninstalled from the Control Panel, and the computer still works without it. It is for updating some software on the computer. I wanted get rid of all HP junk that slowed down the computer.

C:\Program Files\Lavasoft\Ad-Aware 2007\AAWTray.exe

Tarun and others, have recommended Ad-Aware SE over the 2007 edition.

C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe

I don't know what this does, but I suspect its something you can live without.

iTunes been accused of bloat.

C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe

You don't need toolbars. They often just bloat things, and can inhibit spyware-like behaviour.

C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe

C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe

C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\MESSEN~1\YAHOOM~1.EXE

Instead of three different IM software, you could use a multi-protocol IM software such as Miranda or Pidgin

C:\Program Files\Common Files\LightScribe\LSSrvc.exe

LightScribe is to make what they call "tattooes" on CD. It is a useless feature, and nobody really uses it.

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\bin\jusched.exe

If you don't have any software dependent on Java, you can uninstall this.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe

Acrobat Reader is slow and bloated. You might want to try SumatraPDF, its just 1 megabyte, and does not run in the background all the time for no reason unlike Acrobat Reader.

Toolbars are no good.

Getting rid of HP stuff is probably a good idea.

LightScribe nobody really uses.

Symantec I wouldn't touch with even with a stick.
