No, think of me. I install and uninstall every single day. I have over 189 programs. My computer runs just fine. Installs and uninstalls all the time can only impact your HDD Health performance, but that’s only when you mess with huge amounts of data every day, like me, I download and upload about 22.5 Gigabytes a day. If it’s the matter of some megabytes or a gigabyte or two you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Nope. It is okay to do that. However it is bad to run two anti-virus programs at the same time or even have two anti-virus programs that may consider each other as a virus. For real, thats what happens a lot.

Don’t listen to DW96. He has no clue what he is talking about.
Installing/Uninstalling can be very dangerous. In order to protect my computer while installing/uninstalling, I cover my computer with magnets. The magnets help sustain the right polarity of the computer as it works.
Hope I helped.

Actually it is bad to uninstall and install too many softwares as with every install and uninstall leave traces of them especially in the Windows Registry. Install CCleaner and scan your computer for invalid registry entries regularly, so as not to have side effects from installing and uninstalling softwares.
