Removing software time again

Every couple of months I go through and thin the crap.

Here are today’s losers:

Yahoo messenger: I mean really, who uses Yahoo anymore?

afreecodecVT.  No idea why it is there.  Probably needed for some obscure video project long forgot. 

Comcast High Speed internet installation wizard.  Never works to diagnose my connection problems and contains tracking software that lets Comcast stalk you. No good.

Comcast desktop doctor: ibid

McAfee security scan.  Using Microsoft instead.  No reason to pay for virus protection.

Player.  No idea what this is, probably some download for a media playback i never use anymore.

Sohail’s gmail notifier.  was supposed to fix the problem of opening gmail as default mail client when clicking on a MAILTO: link in browser.  Didn’t.  Still looking for a solution.

TokBox.  Was in love, never use it anymore.  Have Google Talk, don’t need a UI for that at $9.99 a month.

SupportSoft Assisted Service: YAT (Yet another Trojan)

Yahoo Toolbar, software update, search protection:  Yahoo, Really? 

YourMinis AIR widget thing: Was curious, Never used it.
