Hello everyone! I recently just finished my first build, and I'm enjoying all the games I'm playing on it very much. I found out about Live Update 5 for my MSI motherboard, and installed everything it scanned for. Unknowingly it also downloaded a few programs that I was going to delete... but some seem useful. I am very new to all of this, and just want to know if I should delete them or not, and if they'll affect my computer performance.

Here are all of them: Video Genie, Fast Boot, Supercharger, Easy Viewer.

System Specs: MSI B75MA-P45
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz
GeIL EVO Veloce Series 8GB
EVGA GeForce GTX 770
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD
Rosewill HIVE-650 PSU
 
All of those things can be safely removed. None will affect performance in any noticeable way.
"The MSI Video Genie software is an automatic modifier for the monitor in an attempt to optimize low brightness areas in videos/films."
Supercharger allows for faster charging of apple devices over usb 2.0.
Fast boot bypasses the initialization of some bios features for a faster boot.
Easy viewer is basically just another image viewer.
IMO, these things do not serve much more purpose than taking up space on your hard drive.
