Hey, can you take a gander at my list (especially MS and anything marked in red) and tell me what I can toss?

I don't keep it in the background.Just run it when I feel like it.
Shows you all the old stuff and what isn't up-to-date.Auto links you to updates and such.
Makes the job a lot easier.

I just run it every now and then.It is simple and effective.

I tried the Secunia Personal Edition but it didn't even list those ancient MS products (Money, etc.) as insecure or 'end of life'. Weird.

I use the Freeware "Revo Uninstaller"
It first uses the software's uninstaller to uninstall the software and then it checks the computer for left over bit of junk.
It then shows you what it has found and ask you if you want it deleted.
I've been using it for several month and I really like it.

Thank you for the revo uninstaller link I stumbled upon in this thread. It looks like a nice little useful program with good reviews at Cnet. I have downloaded it and going to use it soon.
