Thank you very much for your response. I am quite shocked at the fact that your stating that all these products are illegal, however I respect that you have experience in these matters. Everything on this computer was installed by a colleague, and I do not want to remove these such items. As first and foremost I paid to have all this installed, if I was to delete them I don't have any cd's to reinstall all this software. How would you like me to proceed in this matter? I don't have the money to re-install all these things. The only problem is this computer is also used by family and friends, therefore it was more susceptible to viruses if I was to use this only myself, I probably wouldn't have been in this mess.
