• "MM Install": Possibly Money Manager from Moneysoft?
• "RjLyraInstaller": ??
• "Tango": Tango Broadband access software. Is it required?
• "Windows Accelerators" can run at start up. KeySpy keylogger (monitoring program). Given a "U" recommendation because it depends if you intentionally installed it. If you didn't treat it as "X" and uninstall or remove
