start it up see what it does, if you newer plan on using it remove it.

The programs that start up with windows are priority to remove or disable auto start,

click start and type in msconfig go to start-up tab see what wants to run (be careful not to unchecked something useful like firewall or antivirus)
if program simply installed and does not run on start-up its pretty much harmless just takes a little space on drive

It's totally user desired and need what user want?

Well,I'll recommend to install all ASUS software and utilities,these all utilities are dedicated to enhance user experience.Where some of them are essential also to give you a complete ASUS experience like Fast boot(nice utility),Power 4Gear Hybrid(allow to manage your power settings in real time mode),Live Update,Smart Logon,Webstorage(which provides some free cloud storage) etc.
