I have followed the recommended malware scan and cleared one bug from the computer. It appears that there are many programs running at the same time that do not need to be running. I need guidance on removing the unnecessary programs from the brain of this computer.

If you need help removing unnecessary running programs get us a list of the current installed programs.

To get this list:

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > and choose Command Prompt

Once the Command Prompt opened copy & paste the following:

cd %programfiles% and Hit enter
then:
dir /p > C:\ProgamList.txt and Hit enter.

After that navigate to c:\ and open ProgramList.txt , copy the Content of this Log and paste it in your reply.
