Ok do you want to keep Erunt - it is a program used to back up the registry. I would not recommend it. Doesn't look like you have used it in years
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Add/remove programs
Select Deamon Tools Then Remove if there
Select EMS Free Surfer Then Remove if there
Select System Clean Then Remove if there
Select Xen Then Remove if there
Select Erunt Then Remove if there

Clear the cache, use this method:
- Open an Explorer folder window (for example, double-click My Computer).
- From the Explorer menu select Tools | Folder Options | View. Make sure that you have checked the box next to "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".
- Start Internet Explorer and click Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Settings | View Files.
- IE should have opened up a folder window, typically viewing a folder with the name of C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files. Put your cursor in the Address area of the folder window and add the name \content.ie5 to the name, so in our example the Address bar would now read c:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\content.ie5.
- You should see a series of four or more folders with random eight-character names like ADOZMZS1. Delete each of these randomly named folders. You may get an error that some files are in use, this is normal if you are currently at a web site since those files are in the cache. Hold down the Shift key when deleting the files so they do not go to the Recycle Bin.
- If desired, reset the folder options you changed in step 1.
