    No, you need it for websites that the Firefox engine cannot load, such as Micorsoft Update.

    Although, there is an IE plugin for Firefox that will use the IE engine to load sites under Firefox. Here's the link.

    You can delete Haxfix, CWShredder, SmitfraudFix and Blacklight. The others are your choice.

    I recommend you keep AVGAS. It is free for 30 days, so after the 30 days you can choose to purchase it or not. The only things taken away are real-time protection and automatic updates, but you can update manually and run scans on a regular basis. It is a very good anti-spyware, look what it rid from you. :)

    Spybot is also an anti-spyware program. It has no real-time protection, but I strongly recommend you keep it becasue it is a very good anti-program.

    Ad-ware is your choice, but I recommend you keep it. It's great for adware that Spybot or AVGAS cannot rid.

    ATF Cleaner and CCleaner are also your choice, but I strongly recommend you keep at least one of them. I have both because ATF takes up very little space. CCleaner does the same thing as ATF, but it also has a registry cleaner(Issues fix). Just remember to always backup the registry when prompted before removing anything. They clean temp files that take up space on the HD. Run it/them about once a week or so.

    You should run scans with your antivirus and antispyware about once every two weeks or so.

    One last thing I forgot to mention. You may want to defragment your HD . Do it in safe mode for best results.

    You're welcome! Just try to be more careful on line to keep all this crap of your computer. ;)
