    You dont need any of that software. It is all crap sony software which is preinstalled on your system.
    If your system is crashing continually you should try reinstalling the operating system, and checking the S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics on the harddrive.
    Download hdtune and go into the health tab. If anything is highlighted in red or yellow I suggest replacing the harddrive. You should also run a CHECKDISK scan to make sure that the disc does not have any bad sectors.
