Many Thanks everyone for taking to time to help me out with this. I think initially I will delay them for a while and if all ok then disable them.
Once again many thanks.

I agree with WHS, marsmimar, and others.
I also suggest checking your startup items from time to time...
You may be clean today, but next week might be different.
Some programs you want and install, may include "add on" things you don't want or need.
Usually you can decline the add ons, but you have to read all the install screens/instructions.
If you do turn off "Auto Update startups" for programs you use, it may become your responsibility to manually check for updates.
I suggest using Secunia PSI (ver 2) periodically to check your PC for updates needed.
Others may disagree, but that's my approach for an "ongoing" strategy...
Well I ws going to delay the startup of most of the processes but I could only find enable or disable.
How does one delay startup please ?
The easiest is with Winpatrol (free). It has the added advantage that Winpatrol alerts you any time some programs wants to muscle itself into the startups. But Winpatrol you have to keep in the startups to perform this function.
