Microsoft C++ redistributable, is it Vital?

Hello, several programs on my pc do not run, I've along with some other
people have suspected C++ redistributable to be the problem. I've
updated and installed up to 2010 redistributable, but still no luck.

Today, I've gone into "Add or Remove Programs" and I've started to
remove some of the C++ redistributable, but I have a question.

Will my pc crash once I remove ALL versions of C++ redistributable from
my pc? (If I do remove, I mean remove anything on the list that includes
the words "Microsoft" and "C++" together, such as "Microsoft Visual C++
2005, 2008 etc", "Visual C++ 9.0 or Visual C++ 2008 x86 Run time)

Thanks
