Vista - unknown programs

**bassfisher6522** · 07-11-2008

What is netbrdg? I found this in my programs list. Do I need to get rid of it? I also have some other programs in there that I don't know what they are or if I even downloaded them my self. Tying to clean up the clutter. Here is a list of some others I need info on.
netbrdg
Ofoto XMI
staticcr
status
AIO-scan
Bonjour
bufferChm
ccscore

UPDATE:
I did a google search but I can't make heads or tails of that stuff. For example the netbrdg could belong to Kodak and about 8 other programs. Need help.

Hell Bassfisher,

You can type in these program's names into Google to do a search on them to see what they are.

Google

netbrdg:

Hope this helps,

I did do a Google search but came up with a lot of mumbo jumbo that I couldn't make heads or tails of. Some referred to applications that might be installed on my computer. I do have one or two items that were mentioned but I could not verify if that was exactly what it was. I was just wanting to make sure that I did not delete something that I might need or an application needed that may make my computer crash and burn. I was thinking some of you guys might know off hand and could refer some quick advice as to what one should do. Thanks.

Sorry Bassfisher, none of them look familiar to me. I would not delete them to be on the safe side. Instead, run a thorough scan with Spybot Search & Destroy and your antivirus program to check for any malware. If any of those files are, it should show up in the scan to be removed.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Bonjour is an Apple software update program. Don't recognize any of the others.

Let's put it this way- is you use anti virus programs and anti malware program and nothing is popped up as malicious, then you're better off leaving those programs alone.

But, if you're more than suspicious still, submit the files for analysis *one by one* to Virus Total and see what they say.
