Programs on my work computer?
So someone else was sitting at my desk yesterday at work. He seems to have installed a bunch of add ons and what not to the computer.
I've been trying to remove them all morning but there are a few things on here that I'm not sure about. I don't want to delete anything important. if you have any info on these programs let me know if they are legitimate, important, or malicious:
Log me in - logmein inc
Less tabs - lesstabs
join.me - joinme.inc
Camtasia studio 7 - techsmith corporation
Optimizer pro v 3.1 - strongvault
playready PC run time - Microsoft
If worst comes to worst I will have the tech people look at it. I'd rather not, tho, because it isn't necessary to get the kid in trouble. they could use this as an excuse to repel our internet rights. I'd rather handle it myself.

I highly recommend you go to your IT department anyway. If you try to remove things yourself and you end up causing more damage then you'll get in just as much trouble.
Log Me In is a popular program used for remote-controlling computers. If your IT department didn't install it then it's a huge security risk having it on your machine.
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Less Tabs or Join.Me
Camtasia Studio 7 is screen-recording software.
Optimizer Pro sounds like a system cleanup/registry repair tool, but I've never heard of it.
I don't know what Playready is either.
