What is Reddit's opinion of Should I Remove It??

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

woah woah woah, don't delete your appdata folder. This simply looks like a failing installation or registration with .Net. Just go into Programs & features, uninstall every .Net instance, then reboot and see if it does it again. You can also compare all your installed and running apps on https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/, if you want to look for troublemakers.

I think it's legit, it seems that the ELPDCBM.exe is a button manager for EPSON document camera.

In your situation I would uninstall any HP programs that didn't look essential, possibly doing google searches to help be sure if a program is safe to uninstall, if I had any doubt. Uninstalling things like photo managers shouldn't break anything.

IMHO if you follow this advice the chance of anything bad happening is very slim, and the chance of anything bad that isn't easily fixable happening is pretty much zero.

I wouldn't say I'm an expert though, so please take what I said with a grain of salt.

best imo would be to do a clean install of windows (which comes with its own bloatware but less than if you buy pc preinstalled) and only install drivers from the manufacturers website.

or as others recommended, look into linux.

I stumbled across this on Friday - thought it relevant as an example:

​

Microsoft Access database engine 2010 (English) - Should I Remove It?

Go look at sheduled tasks and delete if you find anything associated with that.. Go to run - msconfig and then services, hide Microsoft and uncheck crap left...

Open browser and clean history, cache.. If you are synching history etc go delete history.. in your google/Microsoft account..

Run + temp (delete everything) + %temp% (delete everything) + prefetch and also delete everything

Restart PC

Also, try revo unistaller

If this is the one, fallow instructions https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/Free-Audio-Editor-12875-program.aspx

Try uninstalling unneeded programs and disable running on startup of programs you don't need running at startup. https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/ https://www.howtogeek.com/74523/how-to-disable-startup-programs-in-windows/

Jokes aside, you can go through your apps and programs and this website: https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/ **you don't need to install the program from this site, you can just use the search bar / search up the names of the programs

you can compare what you have, and remove anything you find unnecessary, like remote access programs.

I found it !

Couldn't find anything in event viewer of scheduled tasks so i decided to use the program "everything" to search all .exe files on my computer and try to find the icon.

It was my logitech keyboard software :

check your task manager to see the specific name of the program. You could try a program for removing bloatware called https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/

edit: I am actually curious to know the name of the program. When you hover over the icon on the bottom what does it say? I want to look up more about it.

The thing in the background says Bluetooth Stack by Toshiba. Googling that isn’t very successful but I think its looking for a usb that connects bluetooth devices.

Edit: But I also think it might have to do with the Bluetooth that’s built in and it not recognizing it.

I can’t find instructions easily, but here is a list of installed files on Windows. https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/Zoom-75759-program.aspx

ShouldIRemoveIt says no, so i’d say its safe. It looks like its a display controller for HP machines, developed by Portrait for HP.

Found a program called cfosspeed. I removed it and am in the process of installing a 20gb update for a game and I seem to be getting my normal speeds again so it’s looking like that was the issue. The first night I had my pc I had no issues but that night went and installed most drivers listed for my motherboard. One of them being a LAN driver. I wonder if that damn thing was included in the driver download. I’ve only been downloading for 10 minutes but I usually have issues already so I’m going to say it is solved. I contemplated deleting that program a week ago but didn’t take the time to google what it was until tonight.

Well the issue is you dont want your tool getting flagged by AV. That looks really bad lol.

I know what you mean about AV and db upgrades. I would go the process location route.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31374644/get-process-location-path-using-powershell

Just don't have a filter in the script. List all. AV won't flag that. Pipe the output to your script and search keywords. This will help you:

https://www.shouldiremoveit.com/avast-Free-Antivirus-5566-program.aspx

Just google shouldiremoveit AVName and look at the "Files installed by" section. Be faster than VM.

I would use a combination of process name and location. First name like "avastui.exe" and fallback to does the location path contain say "avast"

Depending on the AV grade, it is possible they would spot in your code something like "avName.exe" so it might be better to do some creative regex that for example to match avast looks for processes with an a, a, u, i in that order.

A simple Google search indicates it's a program published by Motiga, which is a now defunct company that published the game Gigantic. Did you install that game?

IT guy here. If you're getting BSOD(especially on Windows 10) the issue is going to be on your PC. You should do the following:

• Ensure Windows is up-to-date
• Ensure your graphics and motherboard drivers are up-to-date (see your vendor's website for complete details but if you have MSI, for example, you can just use the auto-updater.)
• Run Windows AV full scan
• Download and run Malwarebytes full scan
• Download and run CCleaner. If you do the registry cleanup SAVE YOUR BACKUP FILE.
• Go to startup items and disable anything that isn't totally necessary. Not sure? Disable.
• Analyze installed and running applications for indications of something wrong. Not sure? Check this out. It's a great tool.

If the issue persists after this then you can

• Check the reliability history for details on what crashed
• Check the event log for more details(check YT/Goog for how-to)
• Download and run whocrashed to analyze the dump file (google the error codes and go from there)

Good luck!

Some trial versions of Blasterball were preinstalled in Windows.
Perhaps Blasterball 2 Remix which game preinstalled on HP computers. (Hewlett-Packard My Game Center)

There's a pretty good list here. Keep the stuff lower on the list but I usually remove extra cam stuff (sometimes it's redundant). Keep the energy management stuff since that is actually useful.
