    I've been going through and removing bloatware from my A52F but I'm not certain about the Cyberlink software that came pre-installed. I know the CyberLink PowerDVD 9 should probably be kept but I'm unsure about these others.

    CyberLink LabelPrint
    CyberLink MediaShow Espresso
    CyberLink Power2Go
    CyberLink Power Director

    Also uncertain about

    Asus LifeFrame 3
    Asus Mult
    Asus Video Magic
    Trend Micro (Only because I already use McAfee)

    These programs stood out to me as ones I may not have any need for but I'd like another opinion on these if any are important or vital to have on my notebook.

    For multimedia packages such as Cyberlink, Roxio and others, sometimes the components can be separated and uninstalled individually - other times not as everything is tied together.

    Trial and error.
