Theres lots of free stuff out there......
If you want to see what you need/don't need, disable everything but your AV and then try to work with the rest of the stuff you mentioned. Only start you Zune software when you need it, make a shortcut for the equalizers, etc etc . You don't need cftmon and it is removable. You can always update java yourself.
