All of them would be. Except for the graphic card drivers.

That's different. Important Updates on Windows are usually OS fixes, patches and hotfix to fix vulnerabilities, exploits, bugs, etc. in Windows and not installing them not only makes his system vulnerable and instable. And I can't take seriously that he's a "hacker" if he doesn't even know that/do that.

Doesn't trust Microsoft but still uses Windows. Sending encrypted messages makes him a hacker ... ?

What distro are you running ?

 

[jen900]

What distro are you running ?

[Overkill]

nope you need all software and drivers updated to avoid nasty stuff from happening

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

 

[jen900]

update my desktop and config..

 

[NSG001]

WOW!!! 10.1 gigs of programmes installed.

@jen900 : Next time, if you want to list the software you have installed easily, you can download and execute MiniToolBox (from BleepingComputer), check the "List Installed Programs" checkbox and click on "Go". It will output a list of the installed programs on your system.

Also, uninstall Bing Bar and Encarta Search Bar (64-bits) ?

Of course if you use it, leave it be but if you don't, uninstall it.

You could probably remove Bing Bar and the 2x Visual Studio 2012 x86/x64 published by AVG Technologies (as seen in last screenshot).

The censored blacking out of x program looks suspicious, especially looking at the installed size and version number.

well I hide it because ..Its a hacking tool

can I ask I think Microsoft is the publisher on Visual studio not AVG..

If you have used AVG in the past then you will have the two Visual Studio 2012 x86/x64 redist. programs, as seen in your screenshot provided. I've also seen this on a VM system where I have only installed AVG Free AV, but was not removed after uninstallation.
