lurch234 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) This would appear to be an excellent post my friend! I just took a look around that site and they have a small but terribly useful app to help you identify the bloatwareand uninstall it for you. I had it scanned by Virustotal and it came back 100% clean. So I installed it to try it out. Here's a screenshot.If you click on "what is it", a web page appears with lots of useful info on the selected program. Nice indeed. Thanks!Btw, you dont have to install the app as they will show you where to find the uninstaller on their site.

dcs18 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Instead of identifying and then wasting time removing bloatware and others associated crapware - I'd focus on not installing them, in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Just a little useful heads up especially for those buying a new laptop or branded PC - never go in for a pre-installed OS, opt instead for FreeDOS. The OS that comes pre-installed with systems is generally Windows 8 Core/Single Language which is not as feature-rich as the high-end Professional/Enterprise found, out here. If you buy a pre-installed OS, you're paying extra bucks for a low-end OS that anyways you're going to format into a Professional/Enterprise - so, it's preferable to go for FreeDOS and save those extra bucks (maybe spend it on peripherals or even your gal.) ;) Edited April 3, 2014 by dcs18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 All said and done we could come across systems belonging to our Customers, friends, neighbors, who look upon us to help them get rid of their bloatware - Makers like hp, compaq, lenovo, etc., etc, are notorious for such crapware in their pre-installation.In such situations, the first 2 posts would be extremely useful. :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
