    Hi,

    this laptop is not listed on Acer Germany website, so I tool the list of the 5741 series. The software should be similar.
    To keep:
    • Acer Backup Manager
    • Acer eRecovery Manager
    • Acer Crystal Eye
    • NTI Media Maker™
    Matter of taste
    • Adobe® Reader®
    • Adobe Flash® Player
    • depending on Model:
      - Microsoft® Works mit Office Home and Student 2007 Trial
      - Microsoft® Office Starter 2010
    To trash
    • Norton™ Online Backup
    • eSobi™
    • McAfee Internet Security Suite 60-day trial
    • Google Toolbar™
    • MyWinLocker®
    • Oberon GameZone
    • WildTangent®
    On my laptop there was also a Flash based Acer screensaver. Trash that battery sucker also.

    Michael
