What programs to uninstall from Asus Eee PC 1215B

You bought a brand new Asus Eee PC 1215B. You booted it up and just went through a long process setting up the Windows 7 OS and finally you're ready to use it.

You clicked on the "window" button and realized that there are quite a handful of programs installed in your laptop and you don't know which one to remove.

Well, here are a list of programs which are safe to remove and programs which are helpful but are also safe to remove.

1. Trend Micro Internet Security / Norton Internet Security Nowadays, pc manufacturers love to stuff laptops with trial versions of anti-virus programs. I personally hate them because they are usually very resource intensive. I will usually uninstall them and use the Windows 7 default anti-virus program, which I personally find that it is more than enough. But of course, if you don't really know much about it, then uninstalling this is optional.
   
2. Asus WebStorage It's almost similar to Apple's online storage service: MobileMe. If you don't use it, uninstall it.
   
3. Asus App StoreAs the name suggests, uninstall it.
   
4. Trial Flash GamesUninstall all of them.
   
5. ASUS Screen SaverA useless program. Uninstall it.
   
6. ASUS AccessUninstall it. It doesn't help you much
   
7. Asus Update For EEE PCAlthough this program is supposed to check the latest version for all the firmware in your Asus Eee PC 1215B but so far it has been nothing but useless. It's much better to manually go into the Asus support website and update them.
   
8. Asus LiveupdateSame as the #8 program, is supposed to check the latest version for all the firmware in your Asus Eee PC 1215B but so far it has been nothing but useless. It's much better to manually go into the Asus support website and update them.
   
9. LocaleMeIts a locating service. Quite useless. Google Map is much faster and better.
   
10. AsusVibe2.0A useless program. Uninstall.
    
11. Dr.EEEIf you have better 3rd party software which can help you to diagnosis the laptop issues, then uninstall this program.
    
12. CapshookSupposed to show a pop-up sign on the bottom right hand side of your screen whenever you turn on / off the Capslock button. It's quite useless, since there is a dedicated led light to indicate capslock. Uninstall.
    
13. Eee DockingUninstall. There are much better 3rd party docking programs to display your favourite programs
    
14. Super Hybrid EngineI personally uninstall this program because I find the default built-in power management program is much better. (Right click on your battery icon and you will see a menu called "Power Option"
    
15. Other misc. programs which you might wanted to consider uninstalling:
• DVD/CD burner
• Cyberlink DVD player
• label printing software
• Coupon printing software
