I under stand the necessity for having both a 32bit X64 and a 64 bit X64 but do I really need so many different updated version on one machine? People have been known to bork their systems by randomly deleting things that it turns out they need. Thanks for taking the time to give some sort of answer.
You gave enough information of what they do and the risks involved of deleting them, so, I am taking your advice and leaving well alone. Those virus-like programs, called foistware or PUPs potentially unwanted programs , are bundled by the distributors of those freeware programs for a fee. The best protection against foistware is to read every screen carefully when you install a program, even paid ones as some vendors will go for the few cents they get for bundling foistware.
Make sure you are only agreeing to install the software you want to install. In this case, it depends on the software on your machine.
But given that they only appear on your machine if software that uses them is present1, I would expect that you probably do need them. And leaving them in place is by far the safest thing to do. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed. I would suspect that you would need them if you were a software developer. Some programs you have installed might require those.
The only sure way to know would be to remove or rename those libraries and see if things stop working. If you do that, however, you might mess things up.
Computer hard drives are so huge now, the space saved by removing them would be insignificant. The answer is a definite maybe. It all depends on whether you have any applications which use it.
Everytime i uninstall and reboot it, in the next day it shows up again. We have SQL Servers ,. We need to get rid of that becasue it is a level 5 vulnerability.
Any ideas how to uninstall it. Chances are you have other software that requires it. Unfortunately I have no way to tell you what that software might be. Great info Leo, good article, much appreciated. Fast-forward about 6 months later approx 6 months ago , apparently Windows Update installed a Win 7 update on my machine that had Win 10 on it.
But, after I did the re-install, it was not re-installed. My question is whether or not I need it now. I have 3 versions of and one version for My question would be: is there an advantage to adding the version?
Only if you install a software package that needs it. Should I reinstall it or not? Should I get a newer version of it? You may not need it at all. Concerning newer versions. They are not upgrades. Same year and everything. Can any of them be uninstalled? OK after reading your articular how do i get back redistributable x64 to x Does Microsoft have a redistributable update utility which will check my computer and download any updates I need please?
The purpose that i deleted them, someone online advised that it was a good way to remove those nasty windows notification messages. I was able to remove some of the notifications not specifically from removing the redistributables but by other measures, but I still get balloons that pop up from time to time in the right bottom corner of my desk top.
I am still searching for how to completely delete and stop permanently all update messages and balloons, but I have not completely solved the problem yet, even though I applied a handful of online fixes so far. When I deleted the redistributable everything was OK, but when I got rid of the one I started to get much more spam in my emails. The standard response is ridiculous. If you cannot determine which program installed it… how can you be certain it is not a hack or virus of somekind? Hackers use the same code techniques as non-hackers.
Are they seriously suggesting that there is no cause for alarm? When the Windows Registry became a place where code written in another character kanji, cyrillic, martian set could be secretly installed, hidden, made untouchable, made unviewable, then triggered, and deployed, executed, run freely over everything on the computer, executing in so many ways that there would be no way to stop it or prevent future intrusions, I think the story was the same.
BUT it never stopped even there, they advertised to stalkers and jealous partners. Same response re[peated over and over even where the question is different. Microsoft sold out when it came to SECURITY for all computer users, and these are the tactics which attempt to convince to you ignore their involvement.
The structure of the Local and Roaming Data folders is a similar nightmare of hundreds of empty folders. Folders which if you open them, promptly move their contents to another directory, and sometimes right back again. There is a massive level of deception which can be performed by the Registry. Thank you, Leo. I have a controlling ex-husband who would register my electronics computer, laptop and phones as his and enroll them in Enterprise, using my birth year as the name of the company. This would give him access to all my browsing activity, emails, etc.
DARPA would show up there at his place of employment so he had the opportunity to pick their brains — and he IS an opportunist. I assume he has it tied to my Microsoft and Google accounts two separate Enterprise programs and my phones are no different. How do I get out from under all this surveillance once and for all? Can someone please help me? And change the passwords on all of your accounts, email, Facebook Amazon etc.
Take a system image backup before reinstalling to restore your personal files. I cannot tell you how many times this question has come up in my mind going back many years. You can definitely uninstall the Bonjour service without doing any harm to the computer. But, uninstalling or disabling the Bonjour service may limit the functionality of programs that use Bonjour. Both the x86 and x64 versions are needed on 64 -bit systems. Only the x86 versions will work on bit systems.

I wouldn't advise you to delete or uninstall any of those as we are not sure of what programs are using them. I hope the information I provided will help you.
