- CEEment - I'd remove this one!
CEEment stands for Customer Experience Enhancement. CEEment (HPCEE.exe) is the reporting tool that HP uses to collect and study anonymous data. You can activate CEEment when you set up your computer. Or, you can activate using HP Advisor or HP Support Assistant at any time. Some of the data reported using CEEment includes your model number, OS, region, locale, and BIOS version. If you wish to know specifically which data was collected, launch HP Support Assistant. Click Settings, scroll down to the bottom of the Health Analysis tab, and then click View information collected by HP.
- Jumpstart - You don't need this if you're going to remove McAfee and you're going to personalize the computer yourself.
HP JumpStart guides you through a multi-step welcome process that includes HP Registration, McAfee registration, HP Dropbox offer activation, and an HP JumpStart Concierge screen with tips to help you personalize your computer and install apps.
HP Registration Service - Does what it says on the tin. You can use it to register your device with HP. If this doesn't provide additional support or warranty options, I'd remove/ignore.
Support Assistant - Useful for BIOS updates and driver updates, although you can do these manually.
HP Support Assistant helps keep your HP computer in working order by finding updates and providing troubleshooting tools. Most HP computers come with HP Support Assistant. Click the app icon in the task bar, or search Windows for 'support assistant' to open the tool.
- HP Sure Connect - Looks to be a tool for fixing broken drivers...
HP Sure Connect (HP Wireless Rescue Tool) for supported models running a supported operating system. HP Sure Connect automatically recovers the driver of a communications device that has stopped functioning.
If AdwCleaner wants to remove them and is able to, then sure go ahead.
