1. Open the list of programs installed on your computer:
- Windows: Open the Control Panel and select "Uninstall a Program"

2. Review the list of programs to identify any that you do not recognize. If you find any programs that you do not remember installing, or that you don’t need or use, you can remove them.
3. To remove a program, select it from the list and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. After you have removed programs that you do not need, you should update the remaining programs to ensure that they are up to date.
