Hello,
I just received my new laptop, an Asus G53SW-SX180V, and I noticed that many software programs were pre-installed on it. Here is the list:
-ASUS AI Recovery
-ASUS Lifeframe 3
-ASUS Live Update
-ASUS Power4Gear Hybrid
-ASUS SmartLogon
-ASUS Splendid Video Enhancement Technology
-ASUS Virtual Camera
-ASUS WebStorage
-Asus_GSeries_Screensaver
-AsusVibe2.0
-ATK Package
-Cyberlink LabelPrint
-Cyberlink Power2GO
-ExpressGate Cloud
-Fast Boot
-Fresco Logic USB3.0 Host Controller
-Atheros WLAN and Bluetooth Client Installation Program
-Nuance PDF Reader
-Pando Media Booster
-Roxio CinePlayer
-Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
-syncables desktop SE
-THX TruStudio
-Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security
-WinFlash
-Wireless Console 3
That's a lot, and I would like to know what these software programs are for, whether they are essential for the proper functioning of my PC, or if I can uninstall them without any issues.
Thank you in advance :)
