Uninstall BCM first. In the BCM uninstall program, it will give you the option to uninstall SQL Server. Do it. After BCM is removed, the 3 other SQL Server components still remain. It is safe to remove those 3 one by one.

I have done this on brand new out of the box ThinkPads without any ill effects.

In my experience, the worst offender on system performance is Norton. Typically, Norton that came bundled with new computers only comes with 3 or 6 months of definition updates. After the time is up, it is either pay or be without protection. I usually replace it with AVG Free Edition right off the bat.
