start up programs question

hi there,

so i'm trying to determine if i can uncheck some of my programs, like
msmsgs, syntplpr, syntpenh, eabconfg.cpl, word perfect office 1215, swg, net-it launcher, logitech hardware abstraction layer, ituneshelper, isusscheduler, isuspm startup, cpqset, applesyncnotifier, adobereaderspeedlauncher

these would all be somewhere else too , right? just not on the startup.

thanks in advance, i'm ready to delete as you call it for me.

 

The only programs I have in start-up are the firewall and anti virus . All others are started when needed. Depends on what you use.

 

yes, i have ccleaner, how do i take a screen shot?

 

wow, that's great. i'm learning so much already.

hopefully the screen shot attaches.

 

I personally like using WinPatrol for the Startup and other functions.

 

I would keep Defender, SuperAntiSpyware, the Synaptics and Logitech stuff (hardware related), and that's about it. You might want to keep the HPQ entries depending on if you use those functions (primarily the Quick Launch Buttons). I don't use AVG antivirus on my home PC, but it looks like you're using an older version (the screenshot shows Grisoft\AVG7 in startup). AVG is now at version 8.5, but it could be the naming structure in 8.5 is the same as in version 7... like I said, I don't use it so I can't check. For best results, do NOT uninstall the actual programs; just remove them from the start up and see if the PC runs how you want and that no functionality is missed. If it all seems OK after a few days, then go ahead and remove the programs, but do NOT uninstall any drivers (the Logitech, Synaptics, and HPQ stuff may be parts of the drivers).
