Looks like UVC.exe is part of System Mechanic 6. But there's no reason it should be starting on each boot. I'd remove that. I've never seen any "System Mechanic" type program ever do anything positive on a computer. I'd really avoid those types of programs.

And yeah, you've got a whole shitload of stuff running that doesn't need to be. You could speed up your computer dramatically by getting rid of a lot of that junk. Much of it is repetitive too. Which seems to be the trend these days. Companies like HP and Yahoo will keep installing useless crap in multiple locations to ensure that their software remains on your computer no matter what. They're so insistent in their installs, that all the multiple copies end up bogging your computer down. And it's all unnecessary.

And definitely get rid of that proxy override.
