External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:

  • "RealDownload" is not required to run at start up. Download manager. Available via Start -> Programs
  • "realplay lptt01" definitely not required. Variant of the RapidBlaster parasite (in a "RealPlay" folder in Program Files). It is not recommended you manually uninstall RapidBlaster but use RapidBlaster Killer - see here. Note - this is not RealPlayer which can have the same executable name
  • "Realplayer One" definitely not required.
  • "RealTray" is not required to run at start up. System Tray icon for RealPlayer. If you subsequently start RealPlayer manually it adds itself back to the start-up list. You can stop this from happening by right-clicking on the tray icon and disabling StartCenter via Preferences
