If you dont plan on recording using your mic then just remove it. Remove it and just use a third-party photo manager. If you dont use PlugnPlay, just remove it. If you dont download DRM-protected files, you can remove it. Remove it and use a third-party burning software. And afaik, they dont need this component. You can just remove it. Windows Update will have the latest version anyways. I consider this component rather useless since Im rather capable of monitoring my security software myself. Remove it and just use a third-party image viewer like XnView. Remove it and just use a third-party archive tool.
