[zakerzer669]

I do have some programs installed like Games and some other softwares, if i disconnect while is on does the programs erase completely from my pc?

No, they don't get erased.
But you need to be careful to Eject the drive before disconnecting it.
Otherwise it may corrupt some data.

You shouldn't really be installing applications or games on external hard drives anyway in my opinion.

Anything else (your data backups, setup executables etc) are fine.
