    So, im looking through my installed programs to uninstall MSN Messanger becasue I keep getting a side-by-sdie error, and I see that I have about 10 of the Microsoft Visual C++ items installed. DO I really need ALL of them? I have these installed:

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 ATL Update kb973923 - x64 8.0.50727.4053 (259 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (422 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (341 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (X64) (702 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (X64 (834 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.17 (246 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x64 9.0.30729.4148 (782 KB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.21022 (1.41 MB)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.30319 (13.6 MB)

    All of those were from Microsoft Corp, then when I scroll down bit,

    It has:

    Visual C++ 8.0 Runtime Setup Package (x64) by GRISOFT, s.r.o @ (1.52MB)
    Visual C++ 8.0 Runtime Setup Package (x64)by AVG Tech CZ,s.r.o @(2.23MB)
    Visual Studio 2008 x64 Redistributables by AVG Technologies @ (8.14 MB)


    Now. Do I Still need the 2005 and 2008's even if I have the 2010 one?
