Apart from the dreaded Google toolbar and Google desktop, they all have Toshiba in their title name. There is Toshiba pro alert for instance and 5 or 6 others cluttering my desktop. I assume they are commonly installed to all Toshiba laptop. Have any of you found these utilities useful? are any of them blind user friendly or should they all be uninstalled without a second glance? Is there a risk that uninstalling them would invalidate the guaranty? opinions and comments very much welcomed.
