Can I remove these Toshiba programs from my NB305?

Like many other people, I've been disappointed with the molasses-slow behavior of my NB305 netbook.  It's slow in every respect: startup, shutdown, opening programs, running programs, etc.  Everything takes much longer than it should.  I know that the underpowered processor is the main culprit, and there's not much I can do about that.  Adding memory did not help at all.  I'm trying to figure out whether I can improve performance even a little by getting rid of all or most of the programs Toshiba loaded on to this underpowered paperweight.  In particular, I'm wondering  which programs I need to keep, if any.  I don't want to get rid of something I truly need, but I suspect that most of the following don't fall into that category (the list comes from Revo Uninstaller's list of installed programs):
TOSHIBA Assist
TOSHIBA ConfigFree
TOSHIBA eco Utility
TOSHIBA Flash Cards Support Utility
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup
TOSHIBA HDD Protection
TOSHIBA SSD Alert
TOSHIBA Media Controller
TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor
TOSHIBA Quality Application
TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
TOSHIBA ReelTime
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password
TOSHIBA USB Sleep and Charge Utility
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I can't remove a spyware program from my Thinkpad G40, even after using the factory reinstall

    Hello,
    Is it me or is this in German?  I recently discovered a spy-ware program that had escaped detection for months.  When I tried to remove it  critical files disappeared.  I am running Windows XP pro.  I also found a program Supportable Agent-en which I could not uninstall.  I did find a way to erase some of the programs files, but the, you guessed it, windows would not load.  I followed the instructions for returning the O.S. to factory condition, which is supposed to erase the hard drive, but when the process was done the program was still there.  I attempted the reinstall several times and observed that right at the end of the program installment phase, Support.com  unzipped and installed itself.  Of course I am not able to load any virus removal software.  Can anyone explain what is happening and if there is anything that I can do to fix it?  Thank you, Scott
    Solved!

    You can follow this method if you have the recovery cds with you.Use Lenovo's secure data disposal and wipe the entire HDD clean, then use your discs to restore to the default factory settings.

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
    However, I did see two versions of Flash:
    _Flash Player.plugin with old date
    Flash Player.plugin with todays date
    I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

  • How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    How can I remove the Demo Viewer from my MacBook?

    Drag it to the Trash.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning

  • How can i remove a hybrid mbr from my system drive so that Efi booted windows will install.

    Hi,
    i have just clean installed OSX lion on a freshly wiped drive in my macbook pro, using a bootable lion installer usb i used disk utility to partition my drive into a mac and a windows partition under the GPT/GUID partition scheme, i then proceeded to install lion onto the mac partition, and completed the set up, All Good...
    so i plug in my Windows 8 EFI Boot USB stick (Notice, EFI boot here, NOT BIOS EMULATION BOOT), shutdown and power on the mac and proceed to the boot picker by holding option, So far so good, the usb key is recognised and the system boots into the Windows Setup in EFI mode, Enter product key, accept terms and so on, Now i select my Windows partition and windows Says That it cant install to Partition 4 (EFI Partiton, OSX Lion, Lion recovery, Windows), It says that it can only install to a GPT / GUID based disk as expected...
    Why is there a protective MBR on my drive when i didnt add one, and i have not even touched bootcamp assistant...
    How can i remove this Protective MBR from my drive so that my disk is PURE GPT so windows can install?
    hours of googling has turned up nothing...
    System:
    Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009
    Mac os: OSX Lion
    Version of windows trying to install: Windows 8 Release Preview 64 bit in EFI Mode

    Alexander, I would like to apologize for the TERRIBLE answers you have been given so far.  I too had this question, and so here is what my thoughts are, as maybe they might provide insight in leading you towards the answer.
    I am a *nix user in general, and thus own a mac and a thinkpad.  In fact I just got my thinkpad not too long ago.  As such, I transfered my faster hard drive to my faster computer, which made logcal sense to me.  Ergo, I moved my Mac drive to my lenovo.  On this drive I have a hybrid mbr which is no longer needed.  So my thoughts are this:
    From what I gather, the UEFI standard indicates that there is to be a protective MBR on all GPT systems.  This is so that when you use programs that are not GPT aware, they will see a presumably "full" drive and not think that they have the right to destroy your existing data in what it thinks is free space.  For instance, fdisk or other MBR only partitioning systems.  Thus, if your system has only a MBR with a single EE partition, it would be my guess that it was in fact not put there by installing Windows, but rather for the protection of your system. 
    If you are in my situation, where you do indeed have a hybrid MBR with written out partitions, it would be my guess that the only way to rid yourself of it is to do it manually.  The way I would recommend, is using gdisk (gpt fdisk).  It is command line only, but the syntax is pretty easy:
    $ sudo gdisk /dev/disk0
    Assuming you are using your mac partition and your primary hdd is disk0.  That will put you into an interactive session of gdisk.  Enter "?" for command options.  What you need is the "recovery and transformation" section which is the "r" I think.  From there I would say you probably want to create a new hybrid mbr (you will be using this to delete it).  When it asks you for the partitions you would like to include, just hit enter.  It should then ask you if you would like to create a protective entry for the remainder of the empty space.  This is what you want so tell it to do that.  After you are done, "w" will write and exit.  You may want to first use the "p" to print and ensure that you have what you want.  You can proabably check your work by using fdisk as so:
    $ sudo fdisk -l /dev/disk0
    I hope this helps you, and if you find that there is a better way, I hope you might enlighten this thread. 
    Cheers!

  • Can't Remove Certain Font Families From "Font Book" 4.1

    Having gone through my new 2013 iMac's "Font Book" files, and deleted those fonts that I don't feel are relivent for me, I stlll find the following OSX installed fonts not able to be removed from "Font Book" 4.1, under the "all fonts" and "computer" sidebar menu listing:
    Can't remove these ten font families:
    - Baoli SC
    - Lantinghei SC
    - Lantinghei TC
    - Libian SC
    - Wawati SC
    - Wawati TC
    - Weibei SC
    - Weibei TC
    - Xingkai SC
    - Yuanti SC
    I was able to remove/delete many fonts by simply using "command + mouse click" to bring up a pop-up menu window that gave me the option to "Remove (Font Name) Family".
    In the ten fonts, listed above, the "Remove (Font Name) Family" selection is greyed out.
    If I select the "Enable (Font Name) Family" in the pop-out options selection window, for each of the ten fonts above, I am presented with a "Font Book" top pop-up window ... indicating that the fonts have to be "Downloaded in Order to be Enabled".
    Even if I get the ten fonts above, downloaded to "Font Book" 4.1 ... when I go back to the pop-out option window to remove the font family (not greyed out now), and select "Remove (Font Name) Family", the downloaded family fonts in that main folder are deleated, but the main folder is still there .... and can't be removed.
    Even though the ten font families listed above have been turned "OFF" by me, or "disabled" ... is there some way to get these remaining font folders out of my "Font Book" 4.1 app window.
    Any ides or thoughts?

    DavidMac wrote:
    It's kind of strange, since all of these remaining ten font families are "international" fonts, which you would assume Apple would allow an "English" font user to delete.
    Apple is really not interested in helping users delete fonts.  In iOS it's impossible to  either add or remove them, and we can only hope OS X keeps what flexibility it currently has.  In addition, Apple gets over 60% of its revenue from abroad, with China probably the major engine for future sales growth, so it has gone an extra mile to make the OS more attractive to Chinese users.  This includes the ten font families which Apple prefers, probably for size reasons, to install only if the user wants them enabled, but has to keep the names present so the Chinese user will know he can have them if he wants them.
    It's not totally clear to me why you want to remove things.  Can't you just use the Collection column to keep the list you see limited to English or whatever?

  • I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer

    I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer.

    Hi there,
                You can have both Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Photoshop CS6 on the same system and both will work fine.
                In case you need to remove photoshop CS6 from your system, you will first have to deactivate it so save the activation count which you can use it for the future to reactivate.
    Activation:
    Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
    Start the application.
    Choose Help > Deactivate and choose one of the following options.
    Deactivate or Suspend Activation. These options deactivate the software but retain licensing information. Choose one of these options if you want to temporarily deactivate the software, and you're planning to activate on this computer again.
    Deactivate permanently. This option deactivates the software and removes the licensing information from your computer. Enter the serial number again if you want to use the software on this computer. 
    Deactivation:
    CS6: You log in with your Adobe ID to activate your software when you install it or within the first seven days of use. Follow the steps below.
    Steps:
    Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
    Start the application.
    Choose Help > Activate. (If this option is dimmed, you've already activated your software)
    Log in with your Adobe ID (usually your email address) to activate your software. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you see an option to create one.
    Optional (CS5 & earlier): After you activate, also register your Adobe product for faster and easier access to support and upgrades.
    If you need the free download link for CS6, you can visit [  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html  ]
    Thank you

    I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
    These file extenssions are listed as
    olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
    Oh the ...olk14_message's.  Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder.  Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook.  They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
    You can delete them however using Outlook itself.  In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left.  It will show you the messages in that mailbox.  You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox.  The click the Edit menu and select Delete.  You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections.  Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
    The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes.  When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
    Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar.   Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages.  So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox.  And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
    So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
    Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
    Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too.  It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
    So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox.  But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there.  And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.
