Is there a list of BAD device drivers like Nortel or Network Monitor?

How can I tell from this list of devices which (if any) is "listening" to my keystrokes or network packets?

Some of them sound fishy, eg IPSECSHM, Eacfilt, Network Monitor, Arrowkey, System Recognizer, etc .

Do you have the SAME devices? I tried to delete the Nortel ones as I don't use Nortel VPN anymore but they said they could not be deleted as they were needed for the boot process. Huh?

Should I right click and delete some of those below?

I can I tell which are bad and which are "normal"?

I right clicked on "My Computer", selected "Manage", then left clicked on "Device Manager", and then selected "View", "Show hidden devices".

You can't.

Why are you asking this? Is there any problem?
