Bloatware

[anon(9668900)]

I recently bought a new laptop (Asus Zenbook Pro) and I removed some of the obvious bloatware (McAfee, Foxit Phantom, Asus Gift box, etc.)

I want to know which of these other software is/are bloatware, and which I'm better off leaving on the system.

* Asus Live Update
* Asus Smart Gesture
* Asus Splendid Video Enhancement
* Asus USB Charger Plus
* Asus Virtual Camera
* ATK Package
* Audio Wizard (Ice Power)
* Gaming Assistant
* Pixel Master Video HDR
* Thunderbolt Software

One way to know would be to open each program and see if you'll ever need it or not. I do feel however that the thunderbolt software and camera will be needed
