who can help me out? (screenshots inside)

What is the Cisco LEAP module, the Cisco PEAP module, and the Cisco EAP- FAST module? - Yahoo! Answers

so i need them for my wireless.

hopefully someone will go through that list for me soon so i can get to work :)

Now you can uninstall the following.

1. Synaptics pointing device driver

2. All apps starting with Microsoft Visual C++

3. Advise on All apps starting with CISCO is as follows.

Those are three authentication technologies for networking.

LEAP Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol, developed by Cisco, it allows for rotating WEP keys for wireless encryption, it's based on MS-CHAP authentication by Microsoft. This is outdated and should not be used unless necessary.

PEAP is a joint venture between Microsoft, Cisco, and RSA for secure TLS tunneling with PKI certificates as authentication.

EAP FAST is the new version of LEAP.

Those are most likely part of your wireless package. If you do not use wireless, you can remove them.

After this please repost the final snapshot to easily identify a few remaining stragglers.

this haha

anyways heres the updated list

ok, heres the new list...

starting to look smaller

anything else?

I think you should leave it here. One can suggest a few more Apps for uninstalling but you might need them at one time or another in the future. However if you are not using IE (8 or 9) and Windows Media Player then you may uninstall them too.

Read here Remove Internet Explorer and more with the Windows Features tool | TechRepublic. I have removed them both because I use Chrome as my Browser and iTunes and VLC for my video and music files. There has been no repercussion on this account.

Good luck.

i used windows features to turn off internet explorer, games, and gadgets.. IT WORKS GREAT!!

is it safe to turn off "media features" ?

edit: i found out that this includes windows dvd maker, windows media center, and windows media player... since i use itunes, i turned all these off too.

You can turn off almost everything in the Windows Features List because if you miss anything then you can go right back over there again and tick the Check Box to bring it back once more.

so so far, ive followed instructions on here on how to set up a clean boot, installed ccleaner and got rid of tons of junk, went through my programs list and got it down to bare bones, and ran windows features to get rid of internet explorer and windows media player, etc.

is there anything else i can do to clean this guy out?
