Are you talking about safely removing hardware or software?

What is your end goal here?

[MrBlah]

[TheCarpe]

I'm guessing you probably don't want "Advertising Center" and "MarketResearch". Sounds like some kinda spyware.

I want to streamline my system.
Looking more into removing software. I dont want to remove anything that'll prevent me from playing my games.
If that makes since.

How was the fish tycoon demo?



If you don't use the toolbar software, get rid of it. I hate those sneaky little buggars. So, I deletes them.

I liked it at first. Then as with all demos you can go so far then its back to square one again.
But its fun. You can pause it and resume later.

These are the things I would get rid of. Unless you use them for something specific.

[TheCarpe]

Hijack This is pretty useful, good for detecting spyware.

[Clay Pigeon]

I'd think that hijack this is what caused you to even have a list to post.

[metacide]

I was thinking it was McAfee that was the big problem honestly. It's virus like in its "protection"

[M's]

Thanks guys. I'll work on that list today.
