First of all, download Ccleaner from this link:

http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/

Do a full scan with it, and remove whatever is found. This should get rid of a lot of space

Now, about the programs. If you have a windows operating system, you could get rid of the following:
-All the Apple software (don’t get rid of the mobile one, if you have an iphone)
-Bonjour (If you are not interested in learning french)

That’s about it, but make sure to uninstall them with this:

http://download.cnet.com/Revo-Uninstaller/3000-2096_4-10687648.html

To uninstall using that, just install it, open it, then look for what you want to uninstall. Right-click it and uninstall it (choose safe mode (you will see a selection of modes))
At the end of the uninstalling, it will go back to this new uninstaller, allowing you to go “next”. Click on next, then “select all” and “delete” (you might have to “select all + delete” twice (select all and delete are on same window))

Hope this helps

None of these things uninstalled will free up a ton of space, they will free up some for sure but I wouldn’t expect more than 1GB of space to be freed up at the most. Anyway I would suggest removing:

Browser Address Error Redirector
Favorit
Internet Saving Optimizer
Safari – I’m guessing it was installed by accident with Apple Software update, all it is is an Apple web browser and much better alternatives exist, Chrome, Firefox for example.
System Search Dispatcher
Weemi

Although some of the things in your list seriously suggest to me you have spyware/malware/viruses on your machine. Anyway for now after uninstalling those programs you can also free up space by using the Disk Cleanup wizard, just go to the Start Menu, All Programs, Accessories, Systems Tools and click on Disk Cleanup, it will scan for anything that is wasting space on your computer than can be deleted.

After these things I’m also suggesting you at least download and run Microsoft Security Essentials onto your machine, if there is malware/spyware/viruses on your computer this will help to find and remove them although and will help to protect you in the future.

Although one program usually can’t catch everything, each one has things they will miss and another will catch so I would also suggest installing Spybot – Search and Destroy and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, both are free programs.

What do you think? Answer below please!
