Alienware FX: do I need it?

Question

Hi there,   I have noticed that even though the boot is quite fast on my Alienware 51 R3, after I log in there are a couple of programs that take a few minutes before they load, and when they do, the mouse stutter for a moment and then it goes back to normal. The two programs are the Alienware's: Do I actually need them or can I turn them off? If so, how? I searched in the task manager under startup but I couldn't find them. Same goes for the startup folder, where I only see the Killer Control Center. Any hints?

Hi @verysame, Not actually needed, but recommended. The AlienFX is to control the system lights and the other one is the Thermal Control.
