Total computer mess-please help

TakeThis

I have to take a shower. santer or waddler will talk you through how to post the CCleaner Startup & Uninstall logs. It's easy.

ampersand

Thankyou TT = I've hit Uninstall, lhs in sky blue box, but also see Run Uninstaller italicised over on rhs????

Also, sth I miss from my toolbar is the little spinning circle which tells me whether or not things are happening. When one has a slow-running putah and occasionally quirky keyboard[okay, let's just say Flying Fingers Syndrome]it IS tempting to hit the Enter button again....just in case. I cannot tell if anything's underway otherwise.

ampersand

Nothing happened because I didn't select anything to uninstall.
But surely i should be keeping these?

Next time you restart the PC, check they have not started, or re-added themselves

Try these as well and see if it stops the printers doing anything the next time you restart the PC

For the BBC one, if so, you can uninstall BBC desktop, if it won't go quietly, use Revo Uninstaller Free here

http://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html

Scroll down for the version 1.93 link

Or for those who prefer direct links (to avoid confusion), click this one
