removing software

Vista running slow again. Time to ditch stuff

ditching the following apps:

Ask.com toolbar (never use, don 't know how it got installed)
apple mobile device support (don't have an iphone)
apple software update (never use apple software)
Auction Lizard 3.2 (never used)
Analytics reporting suite beat 3.1 from Boulevart (what? no idea what this is)
bonjour apple. What is this?
Deduper 1.2 from Topalt. Crap application, doesn't work.
Doomi, never used
Ecto for Windows (still using w.bloggar for free thank you.)
Google toolbar for IE. I never use IE. I use the google sidebar.
go to meeting, go to webinar. will install again if i use service
Symantec live update (moved to AVG)
Norton security scan (moved to AVG)
quicklist (never used)
Speed Meter Pro (didn't activate, didn't provide enough value to pay for copy, it should be free)
Symantec Antivirus (moved to AVG)

reboot. Still slow, working on other problems.

Uninstall Vista, go with OSX.

[Note: I'm no kneejerk mac fanboy, but I switched eight weeks ago and can't fathom going back].
