I would like to uninstall or otherwise safely remove any applications that make my MB Pro run slowly.

I would like to uninstall or otherwise safely remove any applications that make my MB Pro run slowly. I will have to keep a few apps such as CrossWeb and Veraport due to having to use secure banking and government websites in Korea. I also need the LogMeIn app to access a server in the USA, but I realise that some people recommend getting rid of it.


I tried but apparently have been unsuccessful in removing a McAfee VirusScan application completely. I can still see some files in the HD Library. Any ideas here on how to safely uninstall/remove?


Also any suggestions on how to get rid of my incompatible virtualbox? I think it's 4.0.4.


Also, if you see anything else I should uninstall/remove from the EtreCheck below, by all means please make suggestions.


Thanks so much for your help, suggestions, and advice!
