If you are not using them or do not need ever to use them, you can uninstall them. If you are in possession of a cd/dvd that came with your computer (from HP) then you can install these components anytime
as far cleaning your computer is concerned, use a temp file cleaner regularlyhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiKmxSNFv…

In no way do am i trying to sound condescending but i can tell from your question, you do not know too much about computers.
there are quite an array of things that porn sites can do to your computer. hopefully he’s not downloading anything, just visiting.
you can get infected with:
viruses
spyware
malware
I’m sure you have spyware, but as far as viruses and malware i wouldnt doubt it.
heres a good program to use for all 3
avg antispyware, avg antivirus, etc
AVG offers free programs and ones you can buy. also, download a firewall and have someone set it up for you.
and tell ur man to do the old fashion thing and rent or watch porn on TV. its not worth screwing up your computer anymore.
bigger hint:
(join his adventure through adult-film land. it’ll keep him off the computer. lol)

Try running Ad aware and Spybot because it sounds like your husband has picked up some spyware from some of those sites that is causing your PC to run slow.

Hi Kimberly,
All those HP stuff, if you remove them your computer might not function properly. If you do not have an HP deskjet printer or HP photosmart camera, you can remove them. HP imaging device, is also a software for HP printer. If you don’t have HP printer then delete them.
Slow computers can be caused by lack of hard drive space, so do the steps below and you will speed up your system
Used the Disk Clean up utility from Window, to clean up your C drive.
After you have done that, get Ccleaner to clean up the system further and also your unused registry entry. You can get the program from here:http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000-21…
After using the Ccleaner. get Spyware terminator to cleanup any spyware and adware, and get rid all the pop up. Yo can get this program fromhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Terminat…
