Hello,
I was wondering, how do I identify programs in the Uninstall menu? There are a few "programs" in mine that do not show up in Windows Add/Remove Programs and I cannot recognise them either. There is one that says Default and a couple others that don't really lead you to know what they are. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure without seeing them.
Do this:
go to the uninstall part of ccleaner and press save to text file. Then post the file and show us which ones you dont know.
Ok I'm at home now and checked it out. The only one's I cannot identify is Default and AutoUpdate. Here's the text file you asked for:

The ones hidden in the normal Windows Add/Remove | Add or Remove are typically hidden if it has to do with Windows. Also some installers have other components that they install which aren't listed there because removing them would break the program installation.
It's best is to leave them alone if they're not a normal program uninstaller that isn't listed in the normal Windows Add/Remove | Add or Remove.
