They're a standard set of library files that many applications may use. The operating system does not use them.

2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161
2010 Redistributable -x64 10.0.40219
2010 Redistributable -x86 10.0.40219
Does it look right?
I only use my pc for playing warzone and youtube..
I dont even know what these programs are for and cant rember that ive seen them before..
Suspect that my kid my kid has downloaded some programs that i dont want, becuse my CPU is at 10% post boot.. So i have to go trough everything.
I know i shouldnt touch windows processes, but thats whats left to look at so...
and i dont even understand what these apps do, and i cant remeber ive even seen them before.
I could reinstall OS, becuse this pc is only for warzone. But i rather. becuse i have alot of pictures and other personal stuff that atm not feeling like taking backups on.
Im putting a password from now one thats for damn sure. lol.
Hello,
The Visual C++ Redistributable Packages install run-time components of Visual C++ libraries. These components are required to run C++ applications that are developed using Visual Studio and link dynamically to Visual C++ libraries. These package can be used to run such applications on a computer even if it does not have Visual Studio installed. These packages install run-time components of these libraries: C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, MFC, C++ AMP, and OpenMP.
It is not recommended to uninstall them.
