Downloader, Potentially Superfluous Software.
Some programs or applications can be described as superfluous. These are mostly legitimate programs that may not be necessary for your system to function properly.
The multiplication of programs launched at system startup can cause delays in the execution of ordinary system tasks but also when browsing the Internet.
Before looking for a hypothetical infection, it is therefore strongly recommended to pay particular attention to the treatment of superfluous or unnecessary elements.
Unnecessary software generally comes from software packaging, software updates, additional protection solutions or pseudo optimization software.
Software updates.
First of all, in this category there are certain publishers who offer software for updating device drivers. This software seems superfluous to me since device software developers already include an automatic update feature in their drivers. Also note that the operating system already includes detection of new peripherals and that it is possible to carry out upgrades via its interface.(DealWifi,Driver2Updates,IQIYIVideo,Paretologic,PCCAre,DriverBoost,DriverGenius,DriverSoft,DriverToolkit,DriverWhiz)

Additional protection solutions.
Then the superfluous category lists antiviral or antimalware solutions additional to your resident antivirus. Some software even offers a paid version even though free solutions are available. We must also avoid having several redundant antiviral solutions.(AppVerifierService,CyberDefender,DoctoAntivirus,DoctorPC,MalwareProtection,MPCCleaner)

Optimization software.
Finally, some software that is supposed to optimize your system is classified as unnecessary. The Windows operating system already includes many features such as defragmentation, backup and various cleanups. Please note that this software may offer a paid version after diagnosis.

Software packaging.
Also note that some programs come from downloads with software packaging. These additional programs are obviously superfluous, they can even be installed without your knowledge. It is recommended to read the EULA carefully before installing packaged software. Check the relevance of the pre-checked boxes offered to you.(AedgePerformance,PCSpeedUp,Piratrax,Softonic,Solvusoft)
Temporary files.
During download or installation, this software may use temporary files. These are files whose lifespan is very limited and which must be deleted at the end of installation. It turns out that certain files of this type are forgotten in temporary folders and use unnecessary space on your disk drive which can reach several tens of MB or more.HOW TO REMOVE UNPERFLUOUS SOFTWARE?
