In Add/Remove Programs(Windows XP Default)... For some reason there are a TON of programs there now that weren't before and I am not sure if it is safe or not to Uninstall them since they dont' give me any information/ can't see where the source of it is... Here are some screenshots of what I mean(Whiteness = Whited OUt my programs that I know I installed)

These Extra programs how up on Deault Add/Remove Programs/TuneUp Utilities 2k6/Your Uninstaller 2k5, but don't show up on Advanced Uninstaller

So I was wondering if anyone has any ideas...

Ya good luck mabye run a hijack program or an old style regcleaner to get more info .


How about a system info tool such as Belarc to see what's installed .

Nope... I did install Camera Software and it has like 10 Entries but I whited those out...

I did a HiJack Program but under the Uninstall Tool, they don'tshow up...

Regcleaner I did that, nothing out of the ordinary...


That System Info... There isn't really anything there that is relevant to the programs listed... But there are things there that I thought I got rid of(Not relevant to the Given Programs)

Just uninstall them if you can. I have never seen any of that before.

Haha I don't really want to risk it... So I just leave them alone for now unless someone else has more information on this.

try scanning for spyware/adware/etc etc..... U might have some shit that is auto-installing crap on ur computer. And personally, I'd uninstall it. If I dont use it, I uninstall it.
